FORMATION OF THE
COVALENT BOND
▰ Gilbert Lewis suggested that the chemical
bond is formed by sharing of electrons in
atoms.
▰ Example:
▰ The two electrons are shared equally
between the two atoms forming a covalent
bond.
8
FORMATION OF THE
COVALENT BOND
▰ The electrons are attracted to the nuclei of
both atoms keeping the atoms together to
form a molecule.
▰ formation of the covalent bond for the F2
molecule
9
FORMATION OF THE
COVALENT BOND
▰ The representation of the covalent
compound is called the Lewis structure. In
the Lewis structure, shared electrons that
form a bond is represented by a line or a
pair of dots; lone pairs are represented by
dots above the atom.
10
FORMATION OF THE
COVALENT BOND
a. From the Lewis structure of F2, how many
electrons are around each fluorine atom in
F2?
b. How many bond pairs are there in the F2
molecule?
11
FORMATION OF THE
COVALENT BOND
c. How many lone pairs are there in the F2
molecule?
d. Illustrate the formation of the covalent
bond in Cl2. How many bond pairs are
there?
e. How many lone pairs?
12
FORMATION OF THE
COVALENT BOND
c. Illustrate the formation of the covalent
bond in HCl.
13
Exercises:
1. Draw the Lewis structure for H2O, CH4
(methane), and for NH3.
2. Which of the three molecules has the
largest number of bond pairs (covalent
bonds)?
3. Draw the Lewis structure for carbon
dioxide, CO2.
14
▰ The examples of CO2 and N2 show that
there are different types of covalent bonds
that are formed.
▰ Single bonds are formed when two atoms
are held together by one pair of electrons.
▰ Multiple bonds can be formed also
15
▰ A double bond is from the sharing of two
pairs of electrons such as in the case of O
and C in CO2.
▰ A triple bond exists in N2 where the two N
atoms are held by three pairs of electrons.
16
Types of Covalent Bond
▰ Experimental evidence has shown that
electrons are not equally shared between H
and F; the electrons spend more time near F
rather than H. Therefore the electron density
is shifted more towards F rather than H.
17
▰ This leaves the F end of the molecule
partially negative, δ - , and the H end of
the molecule partially positive, δ+, such
bond is referred to as a polar covalent
bond.
18
▰ The polar covalent bond is somewhere
between a purely covalent (nonpolar) bond
and an ionic bond (where there is almost
complete transfer of electrons).
19
Electronegativity
▰ property that distinguishes the polarity of
bonds
▰ the tendency of an atom in a chemical bond
to attract electrons toward itself
▰ is a theoretical concept and devised as a
relative scale. That is, it can be estimated
relative to, or in comparison to, other
elements in chemical bonds.
20
Electronegativity
▰ Linus Pauling developed a relative scale of
electronegativities which is widely used in
General Chemistry
▰ In contrast, ionization energies and electron
affinities are physically measurable
properties of elements.
21
22
▰ The difference in the electronegativity values
( EN) of two bonded atoms determines the
percent ionic character of the bond. If the
bond is between two identical elements, like
F—F, then the bond is purely covalent with
0 percent ionic character. The difference in
electronegativity is 0.
23
▰ For the molecule H—Cl, the difference in
electronegativity is 0.9 showing that the bond
is a polar covalent bond. A 50% ionic
character corresponds to EN=1.7. While
there is no bond that is 100% ionic, an
electronegativity difference of 2.0 or greater
is usually classified to be predominantly ionic.
24
▰ When EN ≥ 2.0, the bond is
predominantly ionic.
25
Exercises:
I. Classify the following bonds as ionic, polar
covalent, or covalent.
1. The C-C bond in H3CCH3
2. The K-I bond in KI
3. The C-F bond in CF4
4. The N-H bond in NH3
26
Exercises:
II. Arrange the following bonds according to
increasing bond polarity: Cs to F, Cl to Cl, Br
to Cl, Si to C.
27
Guidelines in Writing the Lewis
Structure of Covalent Molecules
1. Draw a skeletal structure of the molecule
putting bonded atoms next to each other.
In general, the least electronegative atom
occupies the central position. H and F
usually occupy terminal (end) positions.
28
Guidelines in Writing the Lewis
Structure of Covalent Molecules
2. Count the total number of valence
electrons from all the atoms in the
structure. Add electrons corresponding to
the charge for negative ions; subtract
electrons corresponding to the charge for
positive ions.
29
Guidelines in Writing the Lewis
Structure of Covalent Molecules
3. Distribute the valence electrons to the non-
central atoms such that these atoms fulfill
the octet rule. Remaining electrons are
assigned to the central atom. Remember
that bonds are equivalent to 2 electrons.
4. If the valence electrons are not enough,
multiple bonds may be formed.
30
Exercises
1. Write the Lewis structure for NCl3.
2. Write the Lewis structure of OCS. C is the
central atom.
3. Write the Lewis structure of CN–.
31
Exercises
4. Write the Lewis structure of the following
molecules:
a. Ethylene, C2H4
b. Acetylene, C2H2
c. Carbon tetrachloride, CCl4
d. COBr2 (for the skeletal structure, C is
bonded to O and Br atoms)
32
Lewis Structure & Resonance
▰ Write the Lewis structure for the ozone
molecule, O3.
▰ To resolve this discrepancy, we represent
the ozone molecule using the two structures
presented as:
33
Lewis Structure & Resonance
▰ The above structures is called a resonance
structure. The double sided arrow shows
that the structures are resonance
structures. A resonance structure is one of
two or more Lewis structures for a molecule
that cannot be represented accurately by
only one Lewis structure.
34
Exercise:
▰ Draw the resonance structures for the
carbonate ion, CO3
2- .
35
EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET
RULE:
The octet rule works best for second-period
elements. Hence there are many exceptions.
They fall into three categories:
a. Incomplete octet
b. Odd number of electrons
c. Expanded Octet
36
EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET
RULE:
▰ Incomplete octet
An example of a molecule with incomplete
octet is BeH2, beryllium hydride.
H – Be – H
▰ There are only 4 electrons around Be and
not 8. Boron and aluminum also form
molecules with incomplete octets.
37
EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET
RULE:
▰ Draw the Lewis structure of aluminum
triiodide, AlI3, showing the incomplete octet.
38
EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET
RULE:
▰ Molecules with Odd Number of
Electrons
▰ Examples are nitric oxide, NO, and
dinitrogen dioxide, N2O.
39
EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET
RULE:
▰ The odd numbered molecules are
sometimes referred to as radicals. They
are generally highly reactive.
40
EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET
RULE:
▰ Expanded Octets
Atoms belonging to the second period
cannot have more than eight valence
electrons around the central atom because
they only have the 2s and 2p subshells. This
is different for atoms of elements in the 3rd
period and beyond.
41
EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET
RULE:
▰ These elements have 3d orbitals that can
participate in the bonding. Hence they can
have more than eight valence electrons
around the central atom. An example is
SF6, sulfur hexafluoride and phosphorus
pentafluoride, PF5.
42
EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET
RULE:
43
EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET
RULE:
▰ Another example is BrF5
44

the first element. The name of the second
element ends in –ide.
HF Hydrogen fluoride
HI Hydrogen iodide
SiC Silicon carbide
45
NAMING COVALENT
COMPOUNDS: (A REVIEW)
2. Prefixes are used to denote the number of
atoms in the formula. The prefix “mono”
usually omitted for the first element in the
formula.
CO carbon monoxide
CO2 carbon dioxide
NO2 nitrogen dioxide
46
NAMING COVALENT
COMPOUNDS: (A REVIEW)
N2O4 dinitrogen tetroxide
CCl4 carbon tetrachloride
SF6 sulfur hexafluoride
47
Seatwork

compounds that can be found in nature or
used in everyday life. Include the following
information:
a. uses of the covalent compound
b. chemical formula and chemical name of
the covalent compound
c. structure of the compound

  • 8. FORMATION OF THE COVALENT BOND ▰ Gilbert Lewis suggested that the chemical bond is formed by sharing of electrons in atoms. ▰ Example: ▰ The two electrons are shared equally between the two atoms forming a covalent bond. 8
  • 9. FORMATION OF THE COVALENT BOND ▰ The electrons are attracted to the nuclei of both atoms keeping the atoms together to form a molecule. ▰ formation of the covalent bond for the F2 molecule 9
  • 10. FORMATION OF THE COVALENT BOND ▰ The representation of the covalent compound is called the Lewis structure. In the Lewis structure, shared electrons that form a bond is represented by a line or a pair of dots; lone pairs are represented by dots above the atom. 10
  • 11. FORMATION OF THE COVALENT BOND a. From the Lewis structure of F2, how many electrons are around each fluorine atom in F2? b. How many bond pairs are there in the F2 molecule? 11
  • 12. FORMATION OF THE COVALENT BOND c. How many lone pairs are there in the F2 molecule? d. Illustrate the formation of the covalent bond in Cl2. How many bond pairs are there? e. How many lone pairs? 12
  • 13. FORMATION OF THE COVALENT BOND c. Illustrate the formation of the covalent bond in HCl. 13
  • 14. Exercises: 1. Draw the Lewis structure for H2O, CH4 (methane), and for NH3. 2. Which of the three molecules has the largest number of bond pairs (covalent bonds)? 3. Draw the Lewis structure for carbon dioxide, CO2. 14
  • 15. ▰ The examples of CO2 and N2 show that there are different types of covalent bonds that are formed. ▰ Single bonds are formed when two atoms are held together by one pair of electrons. ▰ Multiple bonds can be formed also 15
  • 16. ▰ A double bond is from the sharing of two pairs of electrons such as in the case of O and C in CO2. ▰ A triple bond exists in N2 where the two N atoms are held by three pairs of electrons. 16
  • 17. Types of Covalent Bond ▰ Experimental evidence has shown that electrons are not equally shared between H and F; the electrons spend more time near F rather than H. Therefore the electron density is shifted more towards F rather than H. 17
  • 18. ▰ This leaves the F end of the molecule partially negative, δ - , and the H end of the molecule partially positive, δ+, such bond is referred to as a polar covalent bond. 18
  • 19. ▰ The polar covalent bond is somewhere between a purely covalent (nonpolar) bond and an ionic bond (where there is almost complete transfer of electrons). 19
  • 20. Electronegativity ▰ property that distinguishes the polarity of bonds ▰ the tendency of an atom in a chemical bond to attract electrons toward itself ▰ is a theoretical concept and devised as a relative scale. That is, it can be estimated relative to, or in comparison to, other elements in chemical bonds. 20
  • 21. Electronegativity ▰ Linus Pauling developed a relative scale of electronegativities which is widely used in General Chemistry ▰ In contrast, ionization energies and electron affinities are physically measurable properties of elements. 21
  • 22. 22
  • 23. ▰ The difference in the electronegativity values ( EN) of two bonded atoms determines the percent ionic character of the bond. If the bond is between two identical elements, like F—F, then the bond is purely covalent with 0 percent ionic character. The difference in electronegativity is 0. 23
  • 24. ▰ For the molecule H—Cl, the difference in electronegativity is 0.9 showing that the bond is a polar covalent bond. A 50% ionic character corresponds to EN=1.7. While there is no bond that is 100% ionic, an electronegativity difference of 2.0 or greater is usually classified to be predominantly ionic. 24
  • 25. ▰ When EN ≥ 2.0, the bond is predominantly ionic. 25
  • 26. Exercises: I. Classify the following bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or covalent. 1. The C-C bond in H3CCH3 2. The K-I bond in KI 3. The C-F bond in CF4 4. The N-H bond in NH3 26
  • 27. Exercises: II. Arrange the following bonds according to increasing bond polarity: Cs to F, Cl to Cl, Br to Cl, Si to C. 27
  • 28. Guidelines in Writing the Lewis Structure of Covalent Molecules 1. Draw a skeletal structure of the molecule putting bonded atoms next to each other. In general, the least electronegative atom occupies the central position. H and F usually occupy terminal (end) positions. 28
  • 29. Guidelines in Writing the Lewis Structure of Covalent Molecules 2. Count the total number of valence electrons from all the atoms in the structure. Add electrons corresponding to the charge for negative ions; subtract electrons corresponding to the charge for positive ions. 29
  • 30. Guidelines in Writing the Lewis Structure of Covalent Molecules 3. Distribute the valence electrons to the non- central atoms such that these atoms fulfill the octet rule. Remaining electrons are assigned to the central atom. Remember that bonds are equivalent to 2 electrons. 4. If the valence electrons are not enough, multiple bonds may be formed. 30
  • 31. Exercises 1. Write the Lewis structure for NCl3. 2. Write the Lewis structure of OCS. C is the central atom. 3. Write the Lewis structure of CN–. 31
  • 32. Exercises 4. Write the Lewis structure of the following molecules: a. Ethylene, C2H4 b. Acetylene, C2H2 c. Carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 d. COBr2 (for the skeletal structure, C is bonded to O and Br atoms) 32
  • 33. Lewis Structure & Resonance ▰ Write the Lewis structure for the ozone molecule, O3. ▰ To resolve this discrepancy, we represent the ozone molecule using the two structures presented as: 33
  • 34. Lewis Structure & Resonance ▰ The above structures is called a resonance structure. The double sided arrow shows that the structures are resonance structures. A resonance structure is one of two or more Lewis structures for a molecule that cannot be represented accurately by only one Lewis structure. 34
  • 35. Exercise: ▰ Draw the resonance structures for the carbonate ion, CO3 2- . 35
  • 36. EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET RULE: The octet rule works best for second-period elements. Hence there are many exceptions. They fall into three categories: a. Incomplete octet b. Odd number of electrons c. Expanded Octet 36
  • 37. EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET RULE: ▰ Incomplete octet An example of a molecule with incomplete octet is BeH2, beryllium hydride. H – Be – H ▰ There are only 4 electrons around Be and not 8. Boron and aluminum also form molecules with incomplete octets. 37
  • 38. EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET RULE: ▰ Draw the Lewis structure of aluminum triiodide, AlI3, showing the incomplete octet. 38
  • 39. EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET RULE: ▰ Molecules with Odd Number of Electrons ▰ Examples are nitric oxide, NO, and dinitrogen dioxide, N2O. 39
  • 40. EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET RULE: ▰ The odd numbered molecules are sometimes referred to as radicals. They are generally highly reactive. 40
  • 41. EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET RULE: ▰ Expanded Octets Atoms belonging to the second period cannot have more than eight valence electrons around the central atom because they only have the 2s and 2p subshells. This is different for atoms of elements in the 3rd period and beyond. 41
  • 42. EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET RULE: ▰ These elements have 3d orbitals that can participate in the bonding. Hence they can have more than eight valence electrons around the central atom. An example is SF6, sulfur hexafluoride and phosphorus pentafluoride, PF5. 42
  • 43. EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET RULE: 43
  • 44. EXCEPTIONS TO THE OCTET RULE: ▰ Another example is BrF5 44
  • 45. NAMING COVALENT COMPOUNDS: (A REVIEW) 1. For binary compounds, state the name of the first element. The name of the second element ends in –ide. HF Hydrogen fluoride HI Hydrogen iodide SiC Silicon carbide 45
  • 46. NAMING COVALENT COMPOUNDS: (A REVIEW) 2. Prefixes are used to denote the number of atoms in the formula. The prefix “mono” usually omitted for the first element in the formula. CO carbon monoxide CO2 carbon dioxide NO2 nitrogen dioxide 46
  • 47. NAMING COVALENT COMPOUNDS: (A REVIEW) N2O4 dinitrogen tetroxide CCl4 carbon tetrachloride SF6 sulfur hexafluoride 47
