Chemical Bonding I: Basic Concepts examines general ideas of chemical bonding between atoms and ions and how this bonding affects the chemical properties of the elements. An overview of Lewis symbols, Lewis structures and the octet rule is presented including the role of valence electrons in ionic and covalent bonding. The energy changes that accompany ionic bond formation are also discussed with emphasis on lattice energy. The chapter covers guidelines and general procedures for writing Lewis structures or electron dot formulas for molecular compounds and polyatomic ions. The concepts and applications of resonance, formal charge and exceptions to the octet rules are presented, along with coverage of the relationship between bond polarity and electronegativity.

AbstractThe development of the electron diffractometry methods jointly the analytical methods of electrostatic potential (ESP) reconstruction and its topological analysis allowd one to proceed to the quality new level of electron diffraction structure analysis (EDSA): investigation inner crystalline electrostatic field, which knowledge permitts to study the relation of the atomic structure with physical properties of crystals. The review of the last achivements in this direction, obtained in the Institute of Crystallography of Russian Academy of Sciences, in which EDSA method was discovered, is done. The possibility of the EDSA method to solve precise problems of quantitative analysis of the electrostatic potential is shown on the examples of investigations of the ESP distributions and chemical bonding in crystals with NaCl-type structure and covalent crystal Ge. It is also shown that quantitative data on the potential distribution considerably enlarge conceptions on the nature of interatomic and inetrmolecular interactions in crystals.

Six isomers with C2v, D3h, C5v, D2d, Oh, and C4v symmetries of [Formula: see text] and two isomers with C3v and C2v symmetries of [Formula: see text] are investigated at the high ab initio level combined with the natural bond orbital and the atoms-in-molecules theorems. The hyperconjugative interaction and the electron topological analyses indicate that the multiple three-center two-electron (3c-2e) hyperbond is the common chemical-bonding basis for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] species. In contrast to the planar 3c-2e (triangle structure) and planar four-center four-electron (4c-4e) hyperbonds in [Formula: see text] isomeric species, the 3c-2e hyperbond in [Formula: see text] (C4v) is linear while the 4c-4e hyperbonds in [Formula: see text] (C5v, D2d, Oh) are unplanar. [Formula: see text] (C2v) and [Formula: see text] (C3v) as the global minima have many resonance structures predicted by the natural bond resonance theory, indicating the high possibility of the hydrogen scrambling which is similar to the scenario of [Formula: see text].

Teaching chemical bonding using the octet rule as an explanatory principle is problematic in many ways. The aim of this case study is to understand the learning and teaching of chemical bonding using a research-informed teaching model in which chemical bonding is introduced as an electrostatic phenomenon. The study posed two main questions: (i) how does a student's understanding of chemical bonding evolve from lower- to upper-secondary school when an electrostatic model of chemical bonding was used at the lower-secondary level? (ii) How does the teaching of octets/full shells at the upper-secondary level affect students’ understanding? The same students were interviewed after lower-secondary school and again during their first year at upper-secondary school. Their upper-level chemistry teachers were also interviewed. The interview data were analysed using the grounded theory method. The findings showed that the students’ earlier proper understanding of the electrostatic-interactions model at the lower-secondary level did not prevent the later development of less-canonical thinking. Teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of the explanatory principles of chemical bonding and how to use explanations in science education needs to be promoted in both pre-service teacher education and during in-service training.
