• Draw the Lewis structure for CO2 • Then use VSEPR theory to determine the 3D molecular shape of carbon dioxide.

• Ionic Bonds: – electron transfer from metal to non‐metal forming ions – opposites attract • Metallic Bonds – closely packed cations in a sea of valence electrons
Slide 3 of 47
Slide 4 of 47
• Covalent Bonds: – The sharing of electrons – The octet rule is the driving force behind how they bond
12. Describe how differences in electronegativity values between atoms determine the bond type. Learn the scale: 0.0‐0.4 = nonpolar covalent, 0.4‐2.0 = polar covalent, ≥ 2.0 = ionic 13. Describe three types of intermolecular attractions and compare the strength of intermolecular attractions to ionic and covalent bonds. 14. Describe network solids and explain why network solids have very high melting points.

• Bond Polarity – Is caused by unequal sharing of electrons in a bond – Nonpolar covalent bond • atoms in a bond share the electrons equally • always happens in diatomic molecules of the same element – N2, O2
Slide 10 of 47
– Polar covalent bonds: the unequal sharing of electrons • The more electronegative atom pulls the electrons closer to itself resulting in it having a slight negative charge. • The other atom in the bond will end up with a slight positive charge. • The higher the electronegativity of an atom the greater its power in the tug‐of‐war with other atoms over electrons Slide 11 of 47

Bond Polarity
The bonding pairs of electrons in covalent bonds are pulled by the nuclei.
• The Greek letter delta is used to show that atoms involved in the bond acquire only partial charges
Slide 14 of 47
• The O‐H bonds of water are polar – The very electronegative oxygen pulls the bonding electrons away from hydrogen – The O atom has a partial negative charge, the 2 H atoms have a partial positive charge
Slide 15 of 47
• Determining Bond Types – The difference between the electronegativities of two atoms determines bond type: (learn these values) 0.0 – 0.4 = nonpolar covalent 0.4 – 2.0 = polar covalent >2.0 = ionic
• Polar molecules – The presence of a polar bond often makes the entire molecule polar – exceptions • linear molecules around a central atom – the polarities cancel • CO2

Polar Molecules
Animation 10 Learn to distinguish between polar and nonpolar molecules.
• Intermolecular attractions – the attractions between molecules – weaker than ionic or covalent bonds – determine whether molecular compounds are solids, liquids or gases • strong intermolecular attractions = solid • weak intermolecular attractions = gas
Slide 27 of 47
– Types:
1. Van der Waals forces: 2 types – Dipole interactions • occur when polar molecules attract each other – Dispersion forces • the weakest of all molecular interactions • caused by the motion of electrons
• Dispersion forces may occur when transiently positive and negative regions of molecules attract each other, helping this Gecko walk up walls
Slide 31 of 47
2. Hydrogen bonds • The partial positive charges of the H atoms in polar bonds are attracted to the lone pairs of e‐’s of other atoms • strong intermolecular attractions • accounts for water’s many amazing properties
• Properties of covalent compounds – varies according to type of intermolecular bond – covalent compounds exist in all three physical states – usually have a low melting point below 300 degrees C – usually poor conductor of electricity
Slide 35 of 47
• Ionic compounds are held together by electrostatic forces between all of the ions in the crystal lattice • Covalent compounds are held together by the intermolecular attractions – except for . . .
Slide 36 of 47
• Network solids – diamonds, silicon carbide – all the atoms are covalently bonded to one another • they are enormous single molecules
– extremely strong compounds with high melting and boiling points
