2.9 Covalent Bonding
Sharing electrons to achieve stability.
It's how nonmetals bond with other nonmetal atoms.
Molecules are formed. (discrete, electrically-neutral particles of matter... they be small y'all)

3
Covalent Bonds involve nonmetals only.
...Who are the Nonmetals again?
Elements to the right of the staircase line AND Hydrogen , H

Multiple Choice
What is the electron configuration of chlorine? (symbol, Cl , Group 17)
2-7
2-8-7
2-8-8

Multiple Choice
How many valence electrons does an atom of chlorine have?

Multiple Choice
If forming an ion, What will an atom of chlorine do to achieve 8 valence electrons?
gain 1
lose 7
8
If a metal atom is around, 1 electron will transfer to the chlorine atom... making it a 1- chloride ion (that is ionic bonding)
But what if there are no metal atoms around?
What if there are only other nonmetal atoms nearby?
9
Covalent Bonding
Sharing valence electrons , not transferring them.

Key information for Covalent Bonding
" Co " = share ; "valent" = valence shell (valence electrons)
A Covalent Bond is: A chemical bond formed when two atoms share valence electrons. (Typically, two nonmetal atoms)
Sharing takes place until each atom has access to 8 valence electrons (Octet Rule ; exceptions of Hydrogen... needs only 2)
Example: In a molecule of Cl2 , each chlorine atom donates an electron into a covalent bond in the molecule , which results in each Cl atom having access to 8 total valence electrons (each started with 7).
11
Hydrogen is a nonmetal and is an exception to the Octet Rule
It only needs to form one covalent bond and have access to 2 valence electrons.
Can bond to itself, making H2
Or to others, such as carbon (CH4)
12
Electrons are shared to form one, two, or three bonding pairs
Single Covalent Bond: One shared pair (Ex: in Cl2)
Double Covalent Bond: Two shared pairs (Ex: in O2)
Triple Covalent Bond: Three shared pairs (Ex: in N2)
Bonding pairs of electrons represented as dots or as dashes in Lewis Dot Diagrams (examples on next slide)

New Term: Valency
The number of covalent bonds that an atom needs to reach stability
(Typically, to reach access to 8 valence electrons.)
How-to:
Simply count the number of unpaired electrons in the atom's Lewis Dot Diagram
17
Multiple Choice
How many unpaired electrons in the Lewis Dot Diagram of an atom of fluorine? (this will determine how many covalent bonds it needs to form... its valency)

Lewis Dot Diagrams of nonmetal atoms are the key to determining how they bond with each other
But how to draw them?

Recap
nonmetals can form covalent bonds with other nonmetal atoms
covalent bonds involve the sharing of valence electrons
Typically, each atom contributes one valence electron into each covalent bond (thus, bonding pairs are formed)
The number of unpaired valence electrons an atom has determines how many covalent bonds it needs (a.k.a. its valency)
23
Multiple Select
Which of the following elements could be involved in covalent bonds?
Select all that apply.
H, hydrogen
Na, sodium
S, sulfur
Fe, iron
24
Multiple Choice
Covalent bonding involves the ...
transferring of electrons from one atom to another
the sharing of electrons between atoms
the attraction between metal cations and a sea of mobile electrons
