Chemical

Bonding
Valence electrons
-are the electrons involved in
forming bonds to form compounds.
Metals have low electronegativity
Non-metals have high
electronegativity
Electronegativity
- is a measure of tendency to
attract electrons, the higher
its value, the higher its
tendency of an atom to
attract electrons.
Chemical bonds
- are forces that hold atoms
together to make compounds or
molecules. It is the connection
between atoms in a molecule.
These bonds include both strong
intramolecular interactions, such as
covalent and ionic bonds.
Atoms with the largest
electronegativity differences (such
as metals bonding with nonmetals),
the bonding interaction is called
ionic, and the valence electrons are
typically represented as being
transferred from metal atom to the
nonmetal.
Example of ionic bond:
Magnesium and fluorine combine
to form an ionic compound.
 Mg most commonly forms a 2+
ion. This is because Mg has two
valence electrons and it would
like to get rid of those two ions to
obey the octet rule.
Flourine has seven valence
electrons and usually forms the F –
ion because it gains one electron to
satisfy the octet rule. When Mg2+
and F- combine to form an ionic
compound, their charges must
cancel out. Therefore, one Mg2+
needs two F- ions to neutralize the
charge.
Covalent bonds – are a class of
chemical bonds where valence
electrons are shared between
two atoms, typically two
nonmetals. The formation of a
covalent bond allows the
nonmetals to obey the octet rule
and thus become more stable.
For example: flourine and carbon
 A flourine atom has seven valence
electrons. If it shares one electron
with a carbon atom (which has four
valence electrons), the flourine will
have a full octet (its seven electrons
plus the one it is sharing with
carbon).
Carbon will then have five
valence electrons (its four and the
one its sharing with flourine).
Covalently sharing two electrons
is also known as a “single bond”.
Carbon will have to form four
single bonds with four different
flourine atoms to fill its octet.
There are two types of covalent
bonds: the polar and the nonpolar
covalent bonds. If the
electronegativity difference is equal
to 0.4, it results to a nonpolar
covalent bond. If the
electronegativity difference is less
than 1.9 and more than 0.4, polar
covalent is formed.
