Chapter 2 – Polar Covalent Bonds; Acids and Bases
Chapter Outline
I. Polar covalent bonds (Sections 2.1–2.3).
A. Electronegativity (Section 2.1).
1. Although some bonds are totally ionic and some are totally covalent, most chemical bonds are polar covalent bonds.
a. In these bonds, electrons are attracted to one atom more than to the other atom
2. Bond polarity is due to differences in electronegativity (EN).
a. Elements on the right side of the periodic table are more electronegative than elements on the left side.
b. Carbon has an EN of 2.5.
c. Elements with EN > 2.5 are more electronegative than carbon.
d. Elements with EN < 2.5 are less electronegative than carbon.
3. The difference in EN between two elements can be used to predict the polarity of a bond.
a. If ∆ΕΝ < 0.4, a bond is nonpolar covalent.
b. If ∆ΕΝ is between 0.4 and 2.0, a bond is polar covalent.
c. If ∆ΕΝ > 2.0, a bond is ionic.
d. The symbols ∆+ and ∆– are used to indicate partial charges.
e. A crossed arrow is used to indicate bond polarity.
i. The tail of the arrow is electron-poor, and the head of the arrow is electronrich.
4. Electrostatic potential maps are also used to show electron-rich (red) and electronpoor (blue) regions of molecules.
5. An inductive effect is an atom’s ability to polarize a bond.
B. Dipole moment (Section 2.2).
1. Dipole moment is the measure of a molecule’s overall polarity.
2. Dipole moment (μ) = Q x r, where Q = charge and r = distance between charges.
a. Dipole moment is measured in debyes (D).
3. Dipole moment can be used to measure charge separation.
4. Water and ammonia have large values of D; methane and ethane have D = 0.
C. Formal charge (Section 2.3).
1. Formal charge (FC) indicates electron “ownership” in a molecule.
2. FC # of valence #of bonding electrons # nonbonding electrons 2 electrons
II. Resonance (Sections 2.4–2.6).
A. Chemical structures and resonance (Section 2.4).
1. Some molecules (acetate ion, for example) can be drawn as two (or more) different electron-dot structures.
a. These structures are called resonance structures.
b. The true structure of the molecule is intermediate between the resonance structures.
c. The true structure is called a resonance hybrid.
2. Resonance structures differ only in the placement of π and nonbonding electrons.
a. All atoms occupy the same positions.
3. Resonance is an important concept in organic chemistry.
B. Rules for resonance forms (Section 2.5).
1. Individual resonance forms are imaginary, not real.
2. Resonance forms differ only in the placement of their π or nonbonding electrons.
a. A curved arrow is used to indicate the movement of electrons, not atoms.
3. Different resonance forms of a molecule don’t have to be equivalent.
a. If resonance forms are nonequivalent, the structure of the actual molecule resembles the more stable resonance form(s).
4. Resonance forms must obey normal rules of valency.
5. The resonance hybrid is more stable than any individual resonance form
C. A useful technique for drawing resonance forms (Section 2.6).
1. Any three-atom grouping with a multiple bond adjacent to a nonbonding p orbital has two resonance forms.
2. One atom in the grouping has a lone electron pair, a vacant orbital or a single electron.
3. By recognizing these three-atom pieces, resonance forms can be generated.
III. Acids and bases (Sections 2.7–2 11).
A. Brønsted–Lowry definition (Section 2.7).
1. A Brønsted–Lowry acid donates an H+ ion; a Brønsted–Lowry base accepts H+
2. The product that results when a base gains H+ is the conjugate acid of the base; the product that results when an acid loses H+ is the conjugate base of the acid.
3. Water can act either as an acid or as a base.
B. Acid and base strength (Section 2.8–2.10).
1. A strong acid reacts almost completely with water (Section 2.8).
2. The strength of an acid in water is indicated by Ka, the acidity constant
3. Strong acids have large acidity constants, and weaker acids have smaller acidity constants.
4. The pKa is normally used to express acid strength.
a. pKa = –log Ka
b. A strong acid has a small pKa, and a weak acid has a large pKa
c. The conjugate base of a strong acid is a weak base, and the conjugate base of a weak acid is a strong base.
5. Predicting acid–base reactions from pKa (Section 2.9).
a. An acid with a low pKa (stronger acid) reacts with the conjugate base of an acid with a high pKa (stronger base).
b. In other words, the products of an acid–base reaction are more stable than the reactants.
22 Chapter 2 Polar Covalent Bonds; Acids and Bases 22
6. Organic acids and organic bases (Section 2.10).
a. There are two main types of organic acids:
i. Acids that contain hydrogen bonded to oxygen.
ii. Acids that have hydrogen bonded to the carbon next to a C=O group.
b. The main type of organic base contains a nitrogen atom with a lone electron pair.
C. Lewis acids and bases (Section 2.11).
1. A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
a. A Lewis acid may have either a vacant low-energy orbital or a polar bond to hydrogen.
b. Examples include metal cations, halogen acids, group 3 compounds and transition-metal compounds.
2. A Lewis base has a pair of nonbonding electrons.
a. Most oxygen- and nitrogen-containing organic compounds are Lewis bases.
b. Many organic Lewis bases have more than one basic site.
3. A curved arrow shows the movement of electrons from a Lewis base to a Lewis acid.
IV. Noncovalent interactions in molecules (Section 2.12).
A. Dipole–dipole interactions occur between polar molecules as a result of electrostatic interactions among dipoles.
1. These interactions may be either attractive or repulsive.
2. The attractive geometry is lower in energy and predominates.
B. Dispersion forces result from the constantly changing electron distribution within molecules.
1. These forces are transient and weak, but their cumulative effect may be important.
C. Hydrogen bonds.
1. Hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen bonded to an electronegative atom and an unshared electron pair on another electronegative atom
2. Hydrogen bonds are extremely important in living organisms.
3. Hydrophilic substances dissolve in water because they are capable of forming hydrogen bonds.
4. Hydrophobic substances don’t form hydrogen bonds and usually don’t dissolve in water.

Solutions to Problems
2.1 After solving this problem, use Figure 2.2 to check your answers. The larger the number, the more electronegative the element.
More electronegative Less electronegative
(a) H (2.1) Li (1.0)
(b) Br (2.8) B (2.0)
(c) Cl (3.0) I (2.5)
(d) C (2.5) H (2.1)
Carbon is slightly more electronegative than hydrogen.
2.2 As in Problem 2.1, use Figure 2.2. The partial negative charge is placed on the more electronegative atom, and the partial positive charge is placed on the less electronegative atom
(a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f)
2.3 Use Figure 2.2 to find the electronegativities of each element. Calculate ΔEN and rank the answers in order of increasing ∆EN.
The most polar bond has the largest ΔEN. Thus, in order of increasing bond polarity:

2.4 In an electrostatic potential map, the color red indicates regions of a molecule that are electron-rich. The map shows that chlorine is the most electronegative atom in chloromethane, and the direction of polarity of the C–Cl bond is:
2.5
Chloromethane
Ethylene glycol
The dipole moment of ethylene glycol is zero because the bond polarities of the two carbon–oxygen bonds cancel.
2.6 For each bond, identify the more electronegative element, and draw an arrow that points from the less electronegative element to the more electronegative element. Estimate the sum of the individual dipole moments to arrive at the dipole moment for the entire molecule.

2.7 To find the formal charge of an atom in a molecule, follow these two steps:
(1) Draw an electron-dot structure of the molecule.
(2) Use the formula in Section 2.3 (shown below) to determine formal charge for each atom. The periodic table shows the number of valence electrons of the element, and the electron-dot structure shows the number of bonding and nonbonding electrons.
25 Chapter 2 Polar Covalent Bonds; Acids and Bases 25
Formal charge FC #of valence # of bonding electrons # nonbonding electrons 2 electrons
(a)
Remember: Valence electrons are the electrons characteristic of a specific element. Bonding electrons are those electrons involved in bonding to other atoms Nonbonding electrons are those electrons in lone pairs.

2.31 (a) In Section 2.2, we found that μ = Q x r. For a proton and an electron separated by 100 pm, μ = 4.80 D. If the two charges are separated by 136 pm, μ = 6.53 D.
(b) Since the observed dipole moment is 1.08 D, the H–Cl bond has (1.08 D / 6.53 D) x 100 % = 16.5 % ionic character.
2.32 In phosgene, the individual bond polarities tend to cancel, but in formaldehyde, the bond polarities add to each other. Thus, phosgene has a smaller dipole moment than form aldehyde.
2.33 The magnitude of a dipole moment depends on both charge and distance between atoms. Fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine, but a C–F bond is shorter than a C–Cl bond. Thus, the dipole moment of CH3F is smaller than that of CH3Cl.
2.34 The observed dipole moment is due to the lone pair electrons on sulfur.
