What We Already Know
Valence electrons are important because…
They are the electrons in the outermost shell
They are the same for each element in a group (column).
Want to follow the octet rule of having 8 electrons in the outer shell.
They are the electrons that are involved in bonding.

Octet Rule
How many electrons would carbon want?gain 4
How many electrons would nitrogen want?gain 3
How many electrons would oxygen want?gain 2

Something New…Lewis Structures
show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule
How do we write them?1. Write the symbol of the element.2. Find its number of valence electrons3. Starting at the right, draw a dot to represent each of the
valence electrons and continue counter clockwise until you have used them all up.
4. Each side of the element can only have two dots, because each orbital can only hold 2 electrons
5. Lone electrons tell you how many bonds will form

Example: Carbon
Write the symbol for the element, carbon
It is in group 4 so it has how many valence electrons?
Starting at the right, put one dot on each side until you run out of electrons
Count the number of lone electrons to know how many bonds will form

More Examples:

O
Ar
How many bonds will each element form?

Chemical Bonds
An attractive force between atoms or ions that binds them
together
Two types of bonds:Ionic bond: bond formed between two ions by the transfer of electronsCovalent bond: bond formed by sharing electrons

Properties of Ionic Bonds
When a metal (+) and a non-metal (-) combine
Oppositely charged ions attract
Soluble in water
Conducts electricity when dissolved

Covalent Bond
Found to the right of the staircase
Between two non-metals of similar electronegativity
Electronegativity – the ability of an atom of an element to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound

Do all atoms share electrons equally?
The sharing of electrons can be looked at as a sort of tug-of-war between the nucleus’ of the two atoms
involvedIf that’s the case then who wins?
-nonpolar covalent bond – when the atoms in the bond pull equally (as occurs when identical atoms are bonded), the bonding electrons are shared equally
-polar covalent bond (polar bond) - a covalent bond between atoms in which the electrons are shared unequally.
The more electronegative atom attracts electrons more strongly and gains a slightly negative charge. The less electronegative atom has a slightly positive charge.

How do we determine the bond polartiy?
Difference in electronegativity determines bond type
Above 1.7 = ionic 0.3 – 1.7 = polar covalent 0-0.3 = non-polar covalent
Look at periodic table in CRM p.13
Find the difference between the two numbers
Which is the more polar covalent?(larger # = more polar)
O-O or O-H

Another type of bond….(as if we don’t have enough to remember)
ReviewIonic- Metal with nonmetal
Covalent – Nonmetal with nonmetal
What about two metals?
Metals do not combine with metals. They form alloys, which is a solution of a metal in a metal
Examples: steel, brass, and bronze
However
Atoms of metal are still held together with…

Metallic Bond
Metallic bond – bond found in metal; holds metal atoms together very strongly
Formed between atoms of metallic elements
Good conductors at all states, lustrous, very high melting points
