Bonding~results when atoms gain, lose or share VALENCE electrons
-most atoms want 8 valence electrons, or the same number of electrons as the noble gas that is closest on the table (He is the only noble gas with only 2, since it only has an s orbital)
Ionic Bonds~
1. Between metal and non-metal (attraction between cartion and anion)
2. Electrons are TRANSFERED (metal loses & non-metal gains electrons)
3. Properties:
-high melting/boiling points
-soluble in water
-conduct electricity in the liquid phase (electrolyte-dissolves in water and can condut electricity)
-hard and brittle
4. Ionization energy - how much energy is required to remove an electron from an atom
-trend: increases from left to right, bottom to top (electronegativity has the same trend)
5. Charges:
-group 1A: +1 (alkali metals)
-group 2A: +2 (alkali earth metals)
-group 3A: +3
-group 4A: +4,-4
-group 5A: -3
-group 6A: -2
-group 7A:-1 (halogens)
-group 8A: 0 (noble gases)
-transition metals: variable charges
6. Naming ionic bonds:
-cation name is unchanged
-change anion ending to -ide if monatomic(found on periodic table), leave it the same if polyatomic
-if first element is a transition metal and variable charge, put the Roman Numeral charge in parenthesis after the cation name
7. Writing formulas for ionic bonds:
-cation on the left, anion on the right
-write the symbol and charge of cation, symbol and charge of anion, drop charges and criss-cross numbers (should start at the top and end as subscripts at the bottom)
-must always use parenthesis for polyatomic anions if the subscript is anything besides 1
-if there is a Roman Numeral in parenthesis, that indicates the charge of the metal cations
*Remember - Zinc is always +2 and Silver is always +1
Covalent Bonds (aka molecules)~
1. Between 2 non-metals
2. Electrons are SHARED
3. Bonds
-single bond: 2 atoms share 2e-
-double bond: 2 atoms share 4e-
-triple bond: 2 atoms share 6e-
4. Properties:
-low melting/boiling points
-doesn't conduct electricity
-solids are brittle
5. Naming covalent bonds
-use prefixed to indicate # of each atom
-never use the prefix mono- for the 1st element
-you can use any prefix for the 1st element except mono-, and you can use mono- for the 2nd element just never the 1st
*No charges or criss-crossing for covalent molecules*
Metallic Bonds~
-Occurs in pure metals and metal alloys
-attraction between metal ions and mobile valence electrons (electrons are free to move around the metal, causing an attraction between positive and negative charges)
-the more valence electrons a metal has, the stronger the bond
Electronegativity~how attracted an atom is to electrons (that are already) in a bond
1. Increases from bottom to top, left to right
2. The higher the electronegativity, the more thje atom pulls the electrons to it
3. Electronegativity difference can tell you if the bond is ionic or covalent and polar or non-polar covalent
-E.D. : 0-16 = covalent
»E.D. : 0-0.3 = nonpolar covalent (even sharing)
»E.D. : 0-31+ = polar covalent (uneven sharing)
-E.D. : 1.7+ = ionic
Inter- vs. Intramolecular Forces~
-Inter: between (bonds that occur between 2 molecules)
-Intra: within (bonds that occur between 2 atoms within a molecule)
Types~
1. Dipole-dipole forces
-between 2 polar molecules
2. Hydrogen bonds
-occur between moleucles containing H-N, H-O, or H-F bonds
-hydrogen of one molecule is attracted to unshared electron pairs on another molecule
-occurs because N, O and F are so electronegative, its almost as if H has lost its electron and is looking for more
3. London dispersion
-only force that occurs within noble gases and non-polar molecules
-electrons moving around creates instantaneous but temporary dipoles
Bond Strength~
-ionic > metalic > covalent > dipole-diple > hydrogen > london dispersion
Bond Length/Distance~the average distance between nuclei of 2 bonded atoms in a molecule. Bond length is related to bond order: when more electrons participate in bond fomration the bond will get shorter. Bond length is also inversely related to bond strength- the stronger the bond, the shorter it is.
-single bonds>double bonds>triple bonds
-shorter bonds = stronger bonds
Atomic & Ionic Size~
-atomic size increases from top to bottom and right to left (For top to bottom, with the increase in the number of energy levels, the size of the atom must increase. The increase in the number of energy levels in the electron cloud takes up more space. For right to left, elements on the left side of the periodic table have more protons than elements on right side. More protons make the atoms smaller becuase of their stronger pull that draws in the electrons while more electrons make the atom radii larger because of greater repulsion.)
-cations get smaller, anions get larger (due to greater repulsion with more electrons)
Shape - VSEPR~
1. Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion
2. Electron pairs in the valence shell want to get as far away from other electron pairs as they can, so they arrange themselves around the central atom to acheive this
3. Shapes:
-linear: 1 or 2 atoms bonded to central, no unshared pairs on central
-bent: 2 atoms bonded to central, 2 unshared pairs on central
-tetrahedral: 4 atoms bonded to cebtral, no unshared pairs on central
-pyrimidal: 3 atoms bonded to central, 1 unshared pair on central
-bond angles (conceptual) i.e. bond angle of a linear shape is longer than any other shape (180°)

Lewis Structures~Use of dot diagrams to show how atoms bond
1. Ionic: cations lose electrons so no electrons are drawn with charge, anions gain electrons so put 8 valence electrons with charge
2. Covalent:
-least electronegative atom in center (although hydrogen will NEVER be central; if carbon is in the compound, it will ALWAYS be central)
-all others symmetrically around central
-can only bond in places where there is 1 electron!!
-show single bonds with 1 line, double bonds with 2 lines and triple bonds with 3 lines
