  1. Lewis Dot Structures for Bonding

  2. Review • What is bonding? • Why does it occur? • How do they form? (Explain difference between ionic and covalent

  3. What is bonding? • Attraction of valence electrons of one atom to the nucleus of another atom • Why does it occur? • STABILITY!!!! Because of bonding, each element will obtain full valence/outer shell (8 e-) • How do they occur • Ionic (metal and non metal) • Metal gives electrons to nonmetal • Atoms are then attracted, but DO NOT OVERLAP

  4. Covalent Bonding Two non metals SHARE a pair of electrons Called a molecule Shared electrons will allow both atoms to obtain the octet in valence shell Electrons will be shared equally between the two atoms

  5. How do they form? • Overlap of orbitals is how the electrons are shared • The overlap causes a pseudo octet in valence • Both atoms feel like they have an octet • Two types of overlap • Sigma • pi

  6. Sigma bond • Overlap of two s orbitals • Share only one pair of electrons • Called a single bond

  7. Pi bond • Overlap of p orbitals • Sharing of two or three pairs of electrons • Share two pairs of electrons = double bond • Share three pairs of electrons = triple bond

  8. Which bonds are stronger?? Shorter?? • The more electrons that are shared the strongerthe bond will be. • Bond energy – energy required to break the bond • The more electrons that are shared the tighter/shorterthe bond will be • Single • Double • Triple Weakest, longest Strongest, shortest

  9. How can we represent these bonds? • Lewis dot structures • How do we write these for individual atoms? • N? Cl? • Number of non-paired e- = number of bond possible F F • Circled dots represent the shared electron pair • Other electron pairs are not involved in the bonding • Belong to one atom – nonbonding pair

  10. How do I do this??? • Step 1:Determine types of atom and how many you will need – i.e. the formula • PH3 • Step 2:Write Lewis dot notations for individual atoms • P? H?

  11. Step 3:Determine total number of valence electrons in compound • Add together the number of valence electrons for each element P: 1 x 5e- = 5e- H: 3 x 1e- = 3e- 8e-

  12. Step 4: Least electronegative element goes in center or element with most bonding sites Except: - Hydrogen NEVER in center - If carbon is present, it goes in the center H H P H • Step 5: Place an electron pair between every element H H P H

  13. Step 6: Add unshared pairs to all atoms until they have a full Octet (hydrogen should only have 2) H H P H • Step 7: Self check, number of electrons should equal match total number of valence electrons.

  14. Let’s do another example • NI3

  15. Lewis Dot for double and triples bonds • Follow steps 1 – 7 • If there are too many electrons, the molecule may have double or even triple bonds. • Step 8:Remove electron pairs until desired number of electrons is reached. • Step 9:Some elements will no longer have an octet so we must move e- pairs to non-hydrogen bonds until all elements have an octet

  16. Examples • CO2 • HCN
