Covalent Bonds • Forms when 2 atoms share a pair of valence e- A. Types of Covalent Bonds 1. Single Covalent Bond – two atoms share one pair of electrons Ex: F2 Unshared pair – e- not shared between atoms ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● F F F F ● ● ● ● ● ● F F ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● or ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● What makes this bonding work? Atoms have 8 e- in their outer level to make them stable
Covalent Bonds (cont.) Ex: H2 H H H ● H H H or ● ● ● Why does H2 only need 2 e- to be stable? first energy level only contains 2 e-

Covalent Bonds (cont.) 3. Triple Covalent Bond – 3 pairs of electrons are shared between atoms Ex: N2 ● ● ● ● N N N ● N N N ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● or ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Covalent Lewis Dot Structures 1. Determine the # of valence e- in each atom in the molecule (# valence e- = roman numeral for group A atoms) 2. The central atom is often the first atom written & is usually the atom with the least # of e-. (Exception – H can’t be the central atom). This is going to be the atom that needs to share the most electrons.
● ● Lewis Dot Structures for Compounds 3. Place the electrons around the atoms so each is stable (8 around it, except H – only 2) Examples: 1. Br2 ● ● ● ● ● ● Br Br Br Br ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

VSEPR Theory • Explains the shapes of molecules. • The VSEPR theory states: b/c electrons repel each other, molecules adjust their shapes so that the valence e- pairs are as far apart from each other as possible.
Bond Polarity Polar Covalent Bond – when 2 atoms are joined by a covalent bond and the bonding electrons are not shared equally
Bond Polarity (cont.) Nonpolar Covalent Bond – when 2 atoms are joined by a covalent bond and the bonding electrons are shared equally
How do you determine if a bond is polar, nonpolar, or ionic? Subtract the electronegativities of the bonding atoms (p. 405 in textbook)
Tell if the bonds between the following atoms are polar, nonpolar, or ionic: 1. Hydrogen and Carbon 2. Oxygen and Carbon 3. Potassium and Chlorine 4. Fluorine and Fluorine 5. Nitrogen and Oxygen H 2.1 C 2.5 0.4 Nonpolar O 3.5 C 2.5 1.0 Polar K 0.8 Cl 3.0 2.2 Ionic F 4.0 F 4.0 0.0 Nonpolar N 3.0 O 3.5 0.5 Polar
Polarity of Molecule Polar Molecule – a molecule with a positive and negative end. Polar bonds must be present.
Polarity of Molecule (cont.) • It is possible to have polar bonds but not a polar molecule! • Carbon dioxide has 2 polar bonds and is linear. • Bond polarities cancel out b/c they are in opposite directions. Carbon Oxygen Oxygen
Practice: Write the dot structure of the following molecules – then predict the shape and polarity • I2 • PCl3 • H2S • CHI3 • SiO2 • CH2O
