Covalent bonding
Define electronegativity
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself. The atoms with higher values attract electrons more strongly.

How ionic is an ionic compound? bigger difference in electronegativity more ionic (‘ionic’ usually De-neg> 1.8 difference) usually metal + non-metal

De-neg ‘Ionic’ or ‘covalent’?
‘Sharing’ electrons De-neg < 1,7covalent bonding forms molecules
Often between non-metals
Covalent bond formation- valence electrons
2, 4 or 6 electrons? Single bond: the two atoms share two electrons
(1 pair) Double bond: the two atoms share four
electrons (2 pairs) Triple bond: the two atoms share six electrons (3
pairs)
Lewis structures (dot structures) show valence electrons in pairs as dots, crosses or lines

Condensed formulapropanol CH3CH2CH2OH
Coordinate covalent bond (dative bond)
both electrons in the bond from the same atomonce formed, is the same as any other covalent bond
Bond lengths and Bond strengths
As the number of shared electrons increases (single to triple) the bond lengths shortens and the bond energy increase

Non-polar covalent bond
In, H2 the two electrons in the bond are shared equally between the two hydrogen atoms. H-H De-neg =0. The electron distribution is symmetrical.
Polar covalent bond If two different atoms form a covalent bond there
will be a difference in De-neg.
The atom with highest electronegativity will have the electrons closer; they don’t share equally.
Unsymmetrical electron distribution.

Molecular shapes
What shape are molecules? VSEPR theory (Valence shell electron pair
repulsion) pairs of electrons repel and sit as far away as
possible from each other double and triple bonds count as a pair
VSEPR: electron repulsion molecular shape
Structure of molecule given by pairs of electrons arranging around an atom to be as far apart as possible
non-bonded pairs repel more than bonded pairs double and triple bonds count as one

Why do molecules attract each other to make liquids and gases?
Intermolecular forces: electrostatic attraction between permanent dipoles (polar molecules) permanent dipole and a temporary dipole

Metals
Metallic bond Metals have low
electronegativity. Atoms packed into a lattice. Calence electrons
delocalised valence electrons have no
“home” atoms positive ions in a sea
of electrons that keep them together.

Metallic properties Electrical conductivity: electrons float around. Put
one in, one is pushed out.
Malleability and Ductility: if the atom moves, the electron follows. Bond is between ion and electrons, not between ions.
