Types of Chemical Bonding
Although the atoms within molecules are
kept together by strong covalent bonds,
the forces between molecules are weak.
We call these weak forces intermolecular
forces.
 Van der Waals’ forces (temporary dipole)
 Permanent dipole-dipole forces
 Hydrogen bonds
Ionic Bonding
How are ions formed?
• Positive ions are formed when an atom
lose one or more electrons (Cation)
• Negative ions are formed when an

atom gain one or more electrons
(Anion)
• The charge on the ion depends on the

number of electrons lost or gained.
Ionic Bonding
• When metals combine with non-metals, the electrons in the outer shell of
the metal atoms are transferred to the non-metal atoms.
• Metal transfer electron to nonmetal

form ions.

b. determine the chemical formula of compound that can be formed.
c. Draw the dot and cross symbol for the compound.
Covalent Bonding
Single covalent bonds
• When two non-metal atom combine,
they share one or more, pairs of
electrons.
• A shared pair of electrons is called a

single covalent bond, or a bond pair.
• A single covalent bond is represented

by a single line between the atom.

pair
• Not all electrons are used in bonding.
• the pairs of the outer shell electrons not used in bonding are
called lone pairs.

• Some atoms can bond together by sharing two pairs of electrons
called double covalent bond.
• A double covalent bond is represented by a double line between
the atoms.

• Some atom can bond together by sharing three pairs of electrons
called triple covalent bond.
• A triple covalent bond is represented by a triple line between
the atoms.
• Draw the dot symbol for the following compound:

pair of electrons Lone pair

Co-ordinate bonding

• In a displayed formula, a
co-ordinate bond is
represented by an arrow. +
• The head of the arrow
points away from lone pair

multiple and deviate bond
• We used formal charge to
check the structure
Formal Charge of the Atom
Formal charge = valence electrons – lone pair -
• Formal charge of Carbon = 4 – 0 -

Electronegativity
and Polarity
• Electronegativity is a
measure of the
tendency of an atom to
attract electrons (or
electron density)
towards itself.
Electronegativity
and Polarity
• The greater the difference in electronegativity,
the more polarized the electron distribution and
the larger the partial charges of the atoms.

Differences Ionic and Covalent bond
Property Ionic compounds Covalent compounds
Elements in compound Metal and non-metal Two or more non-metal
Type of particle Only ions Simple molecules
Volatility – melting and High melting and boiling Low melting and boiling points
boiling point points because ions are held because intermolecular forces are
together by strong forces weak
Solubility Most are soluble in water but Most are insoluble in water but
insoluble in organic solvent soluble in organic solvent
Electrical conductivity Conduct when molten or In general do not conduct as solid,
dissolved in water because liquids, or in solution. A few react
the ions are free to move. Do with water and form ions, and
not conduct as solid these conduct in aqueous solution
Macromolecules
These are giant covalent structures which have
millions of atoms held together by covalent
bonds.

• Sigma and pi bonds are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals.
• The greater the overlap, the stronger the bond.

Hybrid Orbitals
When p orbitals are involved in forming single bonds, they becoming modified to
include some s orbital character.
• The process of mixing atomic orbitals is called hybridization.
• When hybridized orbitals overlap linearly (end-on) we call the bond a bond (sigma
bond)
