Bonding with Chemistry
Lewis Dot Structures
VSEPR and Molecular Geometry
A chemical bond is made by sharing electrons between two atoms
to achieve the outer electron configuration of the noble gases.
Chemical Bonds
Ionic
Covalent
Polar
(dipole moment)
Nonpolar
Each element has a preferred outer shell
electron configuration.
An element tends to form enough bonds to
achieve the number of electrons
corresponding to the nearest noble gas.
This is a periodic (repeating) property of
each column (family) of elements.
So the number of outer shell electrons can be
determined from the periodic table:

VSEPR = valence shell electron pair repulsion
theory indicates what molecular geometry we
expect.
Essential bonding characteristic of carbon
atoms:
Carbon has 4 outer shell electrons.
 It needs 4 more to achieve the Neon
configuration of 1s22s22p6.
 It forms 4 bonds total.

Never forget this. It will help you a lot!!!
Review:

How many bonds does hydrogen form?
 How many bonds does oxygen form?
 How many bonds does carbon form?

What is the molecular geometry of water?
 What is the molecular geometry of oxygen
gas?
 What is the molecular geometry of CH4?
Organic chemistry
We begin with Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons are composed of the
elements __________ and __________,
just like the name implies.
 Three major classes of hydrocarbons



Alkanes
Alkenes
Alkynes
Speaking of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes,
etc:
Every subject has its own language. Listen to
military people talk and you know this is true!
Organic chemistry is positively loaded with new
language to learn. Hang in there, it will come
with time…
Alkanes
aka saturated hydrocarbons

called eicosane. We’ll see that in a later chapter.

More families of organic
compounds:
When we introduce other
atoms than carbon and
hydrogen into
hydrocarbons, we call these
functional groups. They
have their own special
names.
