  1. Covalent and Metallic Bonds

  2. How are these two items different? Covalent bonds Metallic bonds

  3. Covalent Bonds • Most things are held together with covalent bonds.

  4. Characteristics • Usually low melting points • Brittle in solid state • Ex: Oxygen • low boiling point • Gas at room temperature. Ex: Wood: Brittle

  5. Covalent Bond • Atoms share one or more electrons • Nonmetals need energy to transfer electrons, so 2 nonmetals will not transfer electrons but share them to fill the valence shells.

  6. Covalent Bonds and Molecules • Substances made form covalent bonds consist of individual particles called molecules. • A molecule consists of two or more atoms joined in a definite ratio. • Most molecules are composed two or more elements- like water.

  7. Electron Dot • One way to represent atom and molecule bonding is with an electron-dot diagram • The diagram only shows the valence electrons of an atom. • Can help you predict how an atom may bond

  8. Covalent Compounds and Molecules • An atom is to an element As A molecule is to a compound

  9. Simplest Molecules • The simplest molecules contain 2 bonded atoms • Diatomic • The elements Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Fluorine, Oxygen, Iodine, Chlorine, and Bromine are always found as diatomic molecules:

  10. More complex Molecules • Soap, plastic,& proteins are all complex molecules. Carbon is the base for a lot of these because it has a valence shell of 4.

  11. Metallic Bonds • Metals can be shaped because of metallic bonds. • A metallic bond is formed by the attraction between positive charged metal ions and the electrons in the metal. • The positive ions form as the metals lose electrons.

  12. Movement of Electrons throughout a Metal • Bonding in metals happens because the atoms are so close the outer energy shells overlap. This allows the valence electrons to “travel” throughout the metal

  13. Properties of metals • Explain what each of the following are: • Conductivity • Ductility • Malleability • Why can metals be bent without breaking?
