Bonding
strong bonds
o covalent
o ionic
o metallic
weak bonds
o hydrogen bonds
o van der Waals interactions
covalent bonds
o bonds between non-metals
o electrons ‘shared’ between atoms
o most common in molecules
o classic example, H2
o all homonuclear diatomics, such as O2, N2
o usually covalent for organic molecules, e.g., methane, CH4
ionic bonds
o bonds between metal and non-metal
o electron is ‘transferred’ from one atom to another
o classic example is NaCl, where e- goes from Na to Cl
o usually, a solid
metallic bonds
o in metal solids, electrons are ‘shared’ over the entire lattice of nuclei
o classic example is bulk Li
o each atom gives over one e- to entire solid, so have 1023 e- shared by 1023 ions
o this sea of electrons flows very easily, so metals are good conductors
weak bonds
o not usually called chemical bonds
o strongest are hydrogen bonds, crucial to all special properties of water
o it’s a weak ionic bond between H in one water molecule and O in another
o also get H-bonding in a few other liquids
o Van der Waals bonds are weaker still, and allow noble gases to bind
strength of bonds
o energy needed to pull atoms completely apart
o use units of kcal/mol; 1 kcal/mol is 0.05 eV
o covalent, ionic, and metallic bonds are few hundred kcal/mol, i.e., up to about 5
eV
o hydrogen bonds about 10 kcal/mol
o van der walls about 1-5 kcal/mol
octet rule
o main group atoms ‘want’ to close their outermost shell, which contains 8
electrons
o if only a few valence electrons, get rid of them
o if close to full, grab some electrons
o for H, it’s a duet rule
