PPT-Covalent Bonds The joy of sharing!

Covalent Bonds Covalent bonds occur between two or more nonmetals electrons are shared not transferred as in ionic bonds The result of sharing electrons is that atoms attain a more stable electron configuration. Unit 1 – Chemical Changes and Structure. Bonding and Structure. The Formation of Bonds. Bonds. are . electrostatic forces. (attractions between positive and negative charges) which hold atoms together.. Why do atoms bond?. Atoms gain stability when they share electrons and form covalent bonds.. Lower energy states make an atom more stable.. Gaining or losing electrons makes atoms more stable by forming ions with noble-gas electron configurations.. Elements with high electronegativities (non-metals) will not give up electrons. Bonds are not formed by a transfer of electrons, they are formed by sharing electrons.. Molecules are neutral groups of covalently bonded atoms. Co = Together. The Octet Rule. The octet rule says that all atoms want to have eight valence electrons, like the noble gases.. One way that atoms can follow the octet rule is by giving and taking electrons… ionic bonding. Chapter 9 ~ most compounds, including those in living organisms, are covalently bonded. What You’ll Learn. I will analyze the nature of a covalent bond. I will name covalently bonded groups of atoms. COVALENT BOND. bond. formed by the . sharing . of . electrons . Covalent . Bonds. Between nonmetallic elements of similar electronegativity. .. Electronegativity = how badly an atom wants to add an electron (non metals have higher electronegativity). Valence Electrons and Bonding. The number of valence electrons (electrons in the outermost energy level) in an atom of an element determines many properties of that element, including the ways in which the atom can bond with other atoms.. Ball-and-stick model. Molecular . Compounds. OBJECTIVES:. Distinguish. between the melting points and boiling points of . molecular. compounds and . ionic. compounds.. Molecular . Compounds. OBJECTIVES:. Bonding. Bonding models for methane, CH. 4. . Models are NOT reality. Each has its own strengths and limitations.. Ga . Standards. Students know . atoms combine to form molecules by sharing electrons to form covalent or metallic bonds or by exchanging electrons to form ionic bonds.. Covalent bonding. Ionic bonding. Ionic Bonding. Bonding as you’ve never imagined it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCYrNU-7SfA. Objectives. To consider the features of ionic and covalent bonds, and the compounds they make. Electron Pairs. Recall that in the Lewis/electron dot diagram, only valence electrons are shown. We consider the shell that they are in to be the valence shell. . These valence electrons give the element its chemical properties, and therefore determine its ability to form chemical bonds. . Types of bonds. Ionic bonding. results from electrostatic attractions among ions, which are formed by the . transfer. of one or more electrons from one atom to another.. Covalent bonding. results from . Ionic bonds . result when electrons are transferred between atoms. Covalent bonds . result when valence electrons are shared between atoms. Types of Bonds. Formed between a . metal. and a . non-metal. Covalent bonds . result from the . sharing . of electrons. between two atoms.. A covalent bond is a . two-electron bond . in which the bonding atoms share valence electrons.. A . molecule . is a discrete group of atoms held together by covalent bonds..
