Chemical Bonds
Chemical bond is formed when two atoms or ions are held
together by the attractive force between them.
Ionic Bond : a chemical bond formed between cation and anion
Covalent Bond : a chemical bond formed between two nonmetallic
atoms by sharing one or more pairs of electrons.
Metallic Bond : a chemical bond formed when valence electrons
of metal atom are attracted by the nuclei of surrounding atoms
(electrons are free to move throughout the metal)
Lewis Symbols
Lewis electron dot structure (or Lewis symbol) : Symbol of
element surrounded by dots representing the valence electrons
in the atom
Lewis symbol for sulfur : [Ne]3s23p4

configurations
For halogen atoms : ns2np5
Octet Rule
Only the valence electrons are involved in chemical bonding.
Octet Rule : When forming chemical bond, atoms tend to gain,
loose or share electrons in order to achieve a complete octet of
valence electrons (ns2np6)

Ionic bonding
Ionic Bonding : Cations (metals) and anions (non-metal)
combine to form ionic bonds
NaCl
Alternating positive and negative
charges
Ionic bonding
NaCl formation :
Na(s) + ½ Cl2(g) NaCl (s)
Hof = -490 kJ
Metal : small ionization energy
Na(g) Na+(g) + e-
IE = 496 kJ
Non-metal : large electron affinity
Cl(g) + e- Cl-(g)
EA = -349 kJ
Removing an electron from Na and transferring it to Cl
is NOT exothermic !
Then, why NaCl formation is an exothermic process?
Ionic bonding
The main driving force to form ionic bonds is the electrostatic
interaction between positive and negative ions.

the larger Eel, the stronger the bond
the greater the charges, the stronger the bond
the smaller the distance between the charges, the
stronger the bond

Drawing Lewis Structure
Things to know before you start to draw Lewis structure
Chemical formulas are often written in the order in which the atoms
are connected
ex) HCN
Hydrogen has only two electrons (shared) and always has only
one covalent bond
The central atom is usually written first
ex) NH3, CCl4, CHCl3, PCl3
Drawing Lewis Structure
Rules for drawing Lewis structure
(1) sum the number of valence electrons from all atoms
(2) write the symbols for the atoms and connect them with a single bond
(3) complete the "octet rule" for the atoms bonded to central atom
(4) place any left over electrons on the central atom
(5) If there are not enough electrons to give the central atom
8 electrons, try multiple bonds.
Drawing Lewis Structure

(1) Total number of valence electrons = 5 + 3 1 = 8
(2) Connect atoms with a single bond

Bond length depends on the size of two atoms and the
number of covalent bond (single, double or triple) between them.

Electronegativity
Electronegativity : A measure of the attraction an atom has
for the electron in a bond
Metals low electronegativity
Nonmetals high electronegativity
electronegativity scale:
Fluorine = 4 (most electronegative)
most strongly attracting electron
Cesium = 0.7 (least electronegative)
