Chemical Bond
• A bond results from the attraction of nuclei
for electrons
– All atoms trying to achieve a stable octet
• IN OTHER WORDS
– the p+ in one nucleus are attracted to the e- of
another atom
• Electronegativity
Two Major Types of Bonding
• Ionic Bonding
– forms ionic compounds
– transfer of e-
• Covalent Bonding
– forms molecules
– sharing e-
One minor type of bonding
• Metallic bonding
– Occurs between like atoms of a metal in the
free state
– Valence e- are mobile (move freely among all
metal atoms)
– Positive ions in a sea of electrons
• Metallic characteristics
– High mp temps, ductile, malleable, shiny
– Hard substances
– Good conductors of heat and electricity as (s) and (l)
It’s the mobile electrons
that enable me-tals to
conduct electricity!!!!!!
IONIC BOND
bond formed between
two ions by the
transfer of electrons
Formation of Ions from Metals
Ionic compounds result when metals react with
nonmetals
Metals lose electrons to match the number of valence
electrons of their nearest noble gas
Positive ions form when the number of electrons are
less than the number of protons
Group 1 metals ion 1+
Group 2 metals ion 2+
• Group 13 metals ion 3+

IONic Bonding
• Electronegativity difference > 2.0
– Look up e-neg of the atoms in the bond and
subtract
NaCl
CaCl2
• Compounds with polyatomic ions
NaNO3
Ionic Bonds: One Big Greedy Thief Dog!
1). Ionic bond – electron from Na is transferred to Cl,
this causes a charge imbalance in each atom. The Na
becomes (Na+) and the Cl becomes (Cl-), charged
particles or ions.
Properties of Ionic Compounds
SALTS
• hard solid @ 22oC Crystals
• high mp temperatures
• nonconductors of electricity in solid phase
• good conductors in liquid phase or
dissolved in water (aq)
COVALENT BOND
bond formed by the
sharing of electrons
Covalent Bond
• Between nonmetallic elements of similar
electronegativity.
• Formed by sharing electron pairs
• Stable non-ionizing particles, they are not
conductors at any state
• Examples; O2, CO2, C2H6, H2O, SiC
Bonds in all the
polyatomic ions
and diatomics are
all covalent bonds
NONPOLAR
COVALENT BONDS
when electrons are
shared equally
H2 or Cl2
2. Covalent bonds- Two atoms share one or more pairs of outer-shell
electrons.
