AS Chemistry Covalent bonding
Learning Objectives • Candidates should be able to: • describe, including the use of ‘dot-and-cross’ diagrams, covalent bonding, as in hydrogen; oxygen; chlorine; hydrogen chloride; carbon dioxide; methane; ethene. • describe covalent bonding in terms of orbital overlap.

Representing a covalent bond This single σcovalent bond can be simply represented as: or H – H
Overlap of atomic orbitals Overlap of two p-orbitals – e.g. F2 Overlap of one s and one p orbital – e.g. HF

AS Chemistry Co-ordinate bonding
Learning Objectives Candidates should be able to describe, including the use of ‘dot-and-cross diagrams, co-ordinate (dative covalent) bonding, as in the formation of the ammonium ion and in the Al2Cl6 molecule. A co-ordinate bond (also called a dative covalent bond) is a covalent bond (a shared pair of electrons) in which both electrons come from the same atom.

AS Chemistry Electronegativity
Learning Objectives Candidates should be able to explain the origin of polar bonds, with reference to electronegativity differences between atoms. Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
Why are bonds like bears? …’cos some of them are POLAR!
Electronegativity differences What happens if two atoms of equal electronegativity bond together? What happens if B is slightly more electronegative than A?
Large electronegativity difference What happens if B is a lot more electronegative than A? An ionic bond is formed!!!
Type of bond As a rough guide:

Do polar bonds make polar molecules? CCl4 molecule is tetrahedral - the partial negative charges on the Cl atoms are distributed pretty symmetrically around the molecule. The partial positive charge on the C is buried in the center of the molecule.
The most electronegative element is fluorine. If you remember that fact, everything becomes easy, because electronegativity must always increase towards fluorine in the Periodic Table.
AS Chemistry Ionic bonding
Learning Objectives Candidates should be able to describe ionic (electrovalent) bonding, as in sodium chloride and magnesium oxide, including the use of ‘dot-and-cross’ diagrams.
