Octet Rule

8 e-s is a magic number Main Group elements (except H and He)

will give, take, or borrow electrons to reach 8 electrons in the outermost shell

Noble Gases (except He) have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so they don’t give or take electrons

Page 3: 1 Ch. 4: Compounds and Their Bonds Chem. 20 El Camino College

4

Cations: Positive Ions

Atoms are neutral Ions have a charge Cations are positive, Anions are negative Metals lose e-s easily to form cations When electrons are lost, the particle left

over has a positive charge.

Page 4: 1 Ch. 4: Compounds and Their Bonds Chem. 20 El Camino College

5

Main Group. Cations: Positive Ions

Ex. Sodium atom has one valence electron. When Na loses 1 e-, a cation with a positive charge forms

The name of Na+ is sodium ion Note, for a +1 charge, just show +.

Page 5: 1 Ch. 4: Compounds and Their Bonds Chem. 20 El Camino College

6

Main Group. Cations: Positive Ions

Ex. Mg atom has 2 valence electrons When Mg loses 2 electrons, a cation with a

+2 charge forms The name of Mg2+ is magnesium ion Note, show the number, then the charge.

Anions: Negative Ions Nonmetals gain electrons easily to form

anions When electrons are gained, the particle has

a negative charge Example: When Cl gains 1 e-, an anion with

-1 charge forms The name of Cl- is chloride ion.

Transition Metals in Compounds

When a compound contains a transition metal with variable charge, you must determine what the charge is

be iron(II) ion Iron(II) chloride Write the formula for iron(III) bromide FeBr3

Ionic vs. Covalent

All the compounds we’ve looked at so far are ionic

The cation of an ionic compound is a metal ion or ammonium ion

The anion of an ionic compound is a nonmetal ion or polyatomic ion

In ionic compounds, e-s are given from one atom to another.

Page 40: 1 Ch. 4: Compounds and Their Bonds Chem. 20 El Camino College

45

Ionic vs. Covalent

Covalent compounds are made of 2 nonmetals

In covalent compounds, e-s are shared (not given away)

Covalent compounds are called molecules Ionic compounds are never called

molecules.

Naming Compounds

• A compound is 2 or more elements bonded together

• The rules for naming covalent (nonmetal-nonmetal) compounds are different than the rules for ionic (metal-nonmetal) compounds

• Always check the periodic table to decide which rules to use.

Page 48: 1 Ch. 4: Compounds and Their Bonds Chem. 20 El Camino College

53

Molecular Compounds (Nonmetal-Nonmetal)

• We’ll only be naming binary molecular (nonmetal-nonmetal) compounds (made of 2 elements)

• The 1st word is the name of the 1st element• The 2nd word is the name of the 2nd element in

“ide” form• Use a prefix for the number.

Page 49: 1 Ch. 4: Compounds and Their Bonds Chem. 20 El Camino College

54

Prefixes in Molecular Compounds

• One: mono- • Two: di-• Three: tri-• Four: tetra-• Five: penta-

• Six: hexa-• Seven: hepta-• Eight: octa-• Nine: nona-• Ten: deca-

Page 50: 1 Ch. 4: Compounds and Their Bonds Chem. 20 El Camino College

55

Putting it all Together

• CO2 is a molecular compound

• The 1st word is the name of the 1st element: carbon (the prefix mono is omitted in the 1st word)

• The 2nd word is the 2nd element in “ide” form, with the prefix “di”

• The name is carbon dioxide.

Examples

• Name these: NF3, S2Br4, CCl4, N2

• nitrogen trifluoride• disulfur tetrabromide• carbon tetrachloride• nitrogen

Page 53: 1 Ch. 4: Compounds and Their Bonds Chem. 20 El Camino College

58

Awkward Vowel Combinations

• When the combinations “ao” or “oo” appear, remove the first awkward vowel

• Example: SiO4 is silicon tetroxide

• Name P2O5, I2O, and SI2

• diphosphorus pentoxide• diiodine monoxide• sulfur diiodide

Sharing electrons between Different Nonmetals

Most nonmetals share electrons to reach 8 electrons

Except: H reaches 2e-s, B reaches 6 e-s e- dot formulas show how e-s are shared

e- Dot Formulas

Electrons in covalent compounds exist as bonding pairs or as lone pairs

A bonding pair is 2 elctrons shared between 2 atoms A lone pair is a pair of electrons around the outside

of an atom

VSEPR: Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory

VSEPR Theory predicts the shapes of molecules

e- sets (bonds or lone pairs) get as far away from each other as possible

Geometry is determined around one atom at a time.

Page 71: 1 Ch. 4: Compounds and Their Bonds Chem. 20 El Camino College

76

VSEPR

One “set” is a lone pair or a single bond or a double bond or a triple bond

A single, double, or triple bond connects to a bonded atom (BA).

A lone pair (LP) is not bonded to anything

Molecular shapes use bonded atoms (BA) only.

Electronegativity & Bond Polarity

Electronegativity is the ability to attract e-s The most electronegative element is F The closer on the periodic table to F, the

higher the electronegativity Electronegative elements “pull” e- density

towards themselves.

Electronegativity & Bond Polarity

There are 2 types of covalent bonds nonpolar covalent bonds polar covalent bonds

Electronegativity & Bond Polarity

In a nonpolar covalent bond, the 2 nonmetal atoms are the same

In a polar covalent bond, the 2 nonmetal atoms are different.

Electronegativity & Bond Polarity

Ex. Electronegativities (H=2.1, Cl=3.0) Is an H-H bond nonpolar covalent or

polar covalent? Is a Cl-Cl bond nonpolar covalent or

polar covalent? Is an H-Cl bond nonpolar covalent or

polar covalent?

Polarity of Molecules

You determined whether a bond was polar covalent or nonpolar covalent

Using that information and the correct shapes, you can determine whether a whole molecule is polar or nonpolar.

Remember, polarity of bonds and polarity of molecules are different

Page 100: 1 Ch. 4: Compounds and Their Bonds Chem. 20 El Camino College

105

Review: Polarity of Bonds

Draw BF3 and NF3 in the correct shapes. Draw a polarity arrow next to each bond.

Polarity of Molecules

To determine if a molecule is polar or nonpolar, add the polarity arrows.

The polarity arrows cancel (have no overall pull) in a nonpolar molecule

The polarity arrows demonstrate an overall pull in one direction in a polar molecule

In BF3, the polarity arrows cancel. The molecule is nonpolar.In NF3, the arrows don’t cancel. There is overall pull and the molecule is polar.

108

Notes on Polarity of Molecules

You must draw the structure in the correct shape to get polarity of molecules correct

Polarity of bonds is different than polarity of molecules

BF3 has polar covalent bonds, but BF3 is a nonpolar molecule

NF3 has polar covalent bonds and is a polar molecule.

Page 104: 1 Ch. 4: Compounds and Their Bonds Chem. 20 El Camino College

109

Notes on Polarity of Molecules

The size of the polarity arrow represents the relative difference in electronegativity

A B-F bond would have a bigger polarity arrow than a B-Cl bond

When polarity arrows cancel, both the size and direction are taken into account.
