Why do bonds form?
Energy! Atoms strive to be at lowest energy possible
Diagram that shows relationship between potential energy level and distance between atoms

Chemical bond
Mutual electrical attraction between nuclei and valence (outer) electrons of different atoms. This binds the atoms together. All about valence electrons!
Model to show chemical bonding
Lewis dot diagram shows elemental symbol and bonding VE
Lewis Dot diagram basics
One dot per VE --36 4???1 7???2 --58
Stable electron configuration
- Elements lose or gain electrons to have the same number of electrons as a nobel gas
Octet rule
Exceptions to octet rule
Electronegativity
Relative scale 0-4, the attraction an atom has for a pair of e- in a bond
Share electrons
Transfer electrons
Nonpolar covalent bond
Polar covalent bond
- Range: .4<_1.9
Ionic bond
Drawing Ionic bonds
Characteristics of Ionic compounds
Formula Unit
Simplest ration of the ions
Crystal lattice AKA ionic latice
- Cluster of Na+ and Cl- Na+Cl-Na+Cl- Cl-Na+Cl-Na+ Na+Cl-Na+Cl- - Not smooth
Ionic compounds solids at room temperature
So strongly attracted that it takes a lot of energy to separate
Ionic compounds soluble in water
Water has a great attraction to the compound and the high energy breaks them apart. (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie)
- NaCl(s) –> NaCl(aq)
Ionic compounds conducting electricity
Nomenclature
- IUPAC- International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists
