    Covalent Bond

    Uploaded by

    Nancy Dominguez
    This document discusses bonding in carbon dioxide (CO2) and covalent bonding. It provides steps to determine the number of bonds in CO2 using the octet rule. There will be 4 bonds surrounding the central carbon atom, as shown in the Lewis structure of CO2. The document also discusses an activity on explaining how covalent bonding takes place through the sharing of electrons using examples like water, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen gas and oxygen gas. It asks questions about how covalent bonds form, what types of elements form covalent bonds, and the differences between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds.

    a.

    Get the total available valence


    electrons in a compound.
    For CO2
    carbon atom has 4 valence electrons
    oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons
    Total Available Valence Electrons
    (TAVE) = (1 C atom x 4) + (2 O atoms x 6)
    = 4 + 12
    = 16
    b. Compute for the Octet Rule
    requirement that each atom should
    have 8
    valence electrons to become stable.
    Number of Electrons based on Octet
    Rule
    = (1 C atom x 8) + (2 O atoms x 8)
    = 8 + 16
    = 24
    c. Subtract a from b, then divide the
    difference by 2 because a pair of shared
    electron is equal to 1 bond. The
    quotient will give you the number of
    bonds
    around the central atom.
    (24 – 16)
    Number of bonds = 2
    = 4
    Thus, there will be 4 bonds
    surrounding a carbon atom as
    shown in the Lewis
    structure:
    .. .. ..
    ..
    :O::C::O: or :O=C=O:
    Activity 4: Bonding by Sharing
    of Electrons
    Objectives:
    Explain how covalent bonding
    takes place.
    Illustrate the sharing of
    electrons.
    Procedure:
    1. Show how the sharing of
    electrons form covalent bond in the
    following
    compounds:
    a. water (H2O)
    b. hydrogen chloride (HCl)
    c. nitrogen gas (N2)
    d. oxygen gas (O2)
    Questions
    • Q1. How do covalent bonds form
    between atoms?
    • Q2. What kind of element usually
    forms covalent bond? Is it possible
    for metals and non-metals to form
    nonpolar covalent bond? Why? How
    about polar covalent bond?
    Questions
    • Why?
    • Q3. Why is it that diatomic
    molecules always form
    nonpolar covalent bonds?
    • Q4. Differentiate polar
    covalent bond from nonpolar
    covalent bond.
