electronegativity The relative attraction
that an atom has for a pair of shared
electrons in a covalent bond.
64
•If the two atoms that constitute a
covalent bond are identical then there
is equal sharing of electrons.
•This is called nonpolar covalent
bonding.
•Ionic bonding and nonpolar covalent
bonding represent two extremes.
65
•If the two atoms that constitute a
covalent bond are not identical then
there is unequal sharing of electrons.
•This is called polar covalent bonding.
•One atom assumes a partial positive
charge and the other atom assumes a
partial negative charge.
–This charge difference is a result of the
unequal attractions the atoms have for
their shared electron pair.

Polar Covalent Bonding in HCl
The attractive force that an atom of an element has for

known as its electronegativity.

difference in electronegativity values of the
atoms forming the bond.
71
•If the electronegativity difference
between two bonded atoms is greater
than 1.7-1.9 the bond will be more ionic
than covalent.
•If the electronegativity difference is
greater than 2, the bond is strongly

less than 1.5, the bond is strongly

Lewis Structures ofLewis Structures of

In writing Lewis structures, the most
important consideration for forming a
stable compound is that the atoms attain
a noble gas configuration.
82
•The most difficult part of writing
Lewis structures is determining the
arrangement of the atoms in a molecule
or an ion.
•In simple molecules with more than
two atoms, one atom will be the central
atom surrounded by the other atoms.
83

86
Step 1 Determine the number of electrons
needed to satisfy the octet rule for each
atom.
. Let us consider CCl
4
. Since this
compound has 4 chlorine atoms and 1
carbon atom, it has a total of 5 atoms that
need 8 valence electrons. Thus the total
number of electrons needed is 40.
87
Step 2 Obtain the total number of valence
electrons to be used in the structure by
adding the number of valence electrons in
all the atoms in the molecule or ion.
If there is a charge, subtract an electron if it is a
positive charge, and add an electron if it is a
negative charge. For CCl
4 , we have:
Cl = 7 x 4 = 28
C = 4 x 1 = 4
Therefore, it has a total of 32 available valence electrons.
88
Step 3 Determine the difference between the required electrons
and the number of valence electrons. The answer will be the
number of electrons involved in bond formation. Half of this
number will be the number of bonds used in the compound.
For CCl
4, the difference is 8 (40-32 = 8). This
means that CCl
4
has 4 bonds.
89
Step 4 Draw the molecules with the
number of bonds you have calculated.
Below are some guidelines:
•If one atom is different from the rest, it is possible that it is the
central atom. Thus, in our example, chlorine atoms surround the
carbon atom.
•The carbon group (Group IVA) usually has four bonds. The
nitrogen group (Group VA) has three bonds, and the oxygen group
(Group VIA) has two bonds. Moreover, the halogens have one
bond.
•When oxygen and hydrogen are represented in a molecule, they
usually have the arrangement H-O-X, where X is another type of
element
•Remember that there may be double bonds and even triple bonds.
90
Step 5 Fill in the dots that will represent
electron pairs. The bonds signify shared
electrons.
In CCl
4, there are 8 shared electrons. Therefore,
there are 6 electron pairs for each Cl atom.
Carbons does not have any dots around it since
the octet rule was satisfied already by the bonds.

•The nonbonding electrons in an atom are called
lone pairs.
•There can be an expanded octet if it is necessary to
increase the number of electrons around a central
atom. In this case, the d orbital electrons are used in
bonding. Two or four electrons may be added. The
formal charges are used to find out if the expanded
octet is more stable than the Lewis electron dot
structure.
•There are some exceptions of the octet rule when
making the Lewis electron dot structure of
compounds. There are some elements that can be
stable by having less than 8 valence electrons.

FORMAL CHARGE
111
Formal charge is the charge of the
atom based on the Lewis electron dot
structure for a particular compound.
The formal charge can be calculated using the
following:
Formal Charge (FC) = group number – (number
of unshared electrons + number of bonds)
112
•Example:
A compound made up of H, O, and Br. There are
two possible structures with either Br or O as the
central atom.
Formal Charges for H – Br – O
For H: FC = 1 – (0 + 1) = 0
For Br: FC = 7 – (4 + 2) = 1
For O: FC = 6 – (6 + 1) = -1
Formal Charge for H – O – Br
For H: FC = 1 – (0 + 1) = 0
For Br: FC = 7 – (6 + 1) = 0
For O: FC = 6 – (4 + 2) = 0
Those with 0 formal charges are the most possible structure.
