Polar Covalent Bonds:Electronegativity Covalent bonds can have ionic character Bonding electrons attracted more strongly by one atom than by the other ■ Electron distribution between atoms in not symmetrical These are polar covalent bonds Ionic character X:X X+Y:- Symmetrical covalent Polar covalent Ionic bond bond bonds Thomson-Brooks Cole

Bond Polarity and Electronegativity ■ Electronegativity (EN):intrinsic ability of an atom to attract the shared electrons in a covalent bond Differences in EN produce bond polarity Metals on left side of periodic table attract electrons weakly,lower EN Halogens and other reactive nonmetals on right side of periodic table attract electrons strongly,higher electronegativities F is most electronegative(EN 4.0),Cs is least(EN =0.7) ■EN of C=2.5

Bond Polarity and Inductive Effect ■ Bonding electrons are drawn towards electronegative atom ■C acquires partial positive charge,δt ■ Electronegative atom acquires partial negative charge,δ- H Chloromethane Methyllithium Inductive effect is the shifting of electrons in a bond in response to the electronegativity of nearby atoms

Resonance Double bond to this oxygen? H :0: Nitromethane Or to this oxygen? Thomson-Brooks Cole N-O=130pm N=0=116pm Nitrogen-oxygen bond in nitro-methane 122pm Neither of the two Lewis structures is correct by itself. True structure is intermediate between the two The two individual Lewis structures are called resonance forms

Resonance Hybrids A structure with resonance forms does not alternate between the forms Instead,it is a hybrid of the two resonance forms,so the structure is called a resonance hybrid For example,benzene(CHe)has two resonance forms with alternating double and single bonds In the resonance hybrid,the actual structure,all its C-C bonds equivalent,midway between double and single Benzene (twe nance forms Tomson-Brooks Cale

Rules for Resonance Forms Individual resonance forms are imaginary-the real structure is a hybrid (only by knowing the contributors can you visualize the actual structure) ■ Resonance forms differ only in the placement of their x or nonbonding electrons-neither the position nor the hybridization of any atom changes from one resonance form to another The red curved arrow indicates that a lone pair of electrons moves from the top oxygen The new resonance structure atom to become part of an N=O double bond. has a double bond here...
