4 Stereochemistry Stereochemistry is the study of the three dimensional shapes of molecules. Some questions to examine in this chapter are: 1. Why are we interested in shapes? 2. What role does molecular shape play in life? 3. ow do we determine molecular shapes? 4. ow do we predict molecular shapes? 4

5 Molecular Shapes The shape of a molecule plays an important role in its reactivity. By noting the number of bonding and nonbonding electron pairs we can easily predict the shape of the molecule. 5

6 Two Simple Theories of Covalent Bonding Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory Commonly designated as VSEPR Principal originator R. J. Gillespie in the 1950 s Valence Bond Theory Involves the use of hybridized atomic orbitals Principal originator L. Pauling in the 1930 s & 40 s 6

7 VSEPR Theory In order to attain maximum stability, each atom in a molecule or ion arranges the electron pairs in its valence shell in such a way to minimize the repulsion of their regions of high electron density: (a) Lone (unshared or nonbonding) pairs of electrons (b) Single bond (c) Double bond (d) Triple bond 7

8 VSEPR Theory These four types of regions of high electron density (where the electron are) want to be as far apart as possible. The electrons repel each other. There are five basic molecular shapes based on the number of regions of high electron density around the central atom. 8

9 VSEPR Theory These are the regions of high electron density around the central atom for two through six electron densities around a central atom. 9

10 Electron-Density Geometries All one must do is count the number of electron density in the Lewis structure. The geometry will be that which corresponds to that number of electron density. : : Tetrahedral 10

11 VSEPR Theory 1. Electronic geometry is determined by the locations of regions of high electron density around the central atom(s). 2. Molecular geometry determined by the arrangement of atoms around the central atom(s). Electron pairs are not used in the molecular geometry determination just the positions of the atoms in the molecule are used. 11

12 Molecular Geometries electron-density Geometry - tetrahedral The electron-density geometry is often not the shape of the molecule, however. The molecular geometry is that defined by the positions of only the atoms in the molecules, not the nonbonding pairs. 12

13 VSEPR Theory An example of a molecule that has the same electronic and molecular geometries is methane - C 4. Electronic and molecular geometries are tetrahedral. C 13

14 VSEPR Theory An example of a molecule that has different electronic and molecular geometries is water - 2 O. Electronic geometry is tetrahedral. Molecular geometry is bent or angular. C 14

15 VSEPR Theory Lone pairs of electrons (unshared pairs) require more volume than shared pairs. Consequently, there is an ordering of repulsions of electrons around central atom. Criteria for the ordering of the repulsions: 15

16 VSEPR Theory 1 Lone pair to lone pair is the strongest repulsion. 2 Lone pair to bonding pair is intermediate repulsion. 3 Bonding pair to bonding pair is weakest repulsion. Mnemonic for repulsion strengths lp/lp > lp/bp > bp/bp Lone pair to lone pair repulsion is why bond angles in water are less than o. 16

17 VSEPR Theory lp/bp 17

18 Multiple Bonds and Bond Angles bp/bp repulsion Double and triple bonds place greater electron density on one side of the central atom than do single bonds. Therefore, they also affect bond angles. 18

19 Nonbonding Pairs and Bond Angle Nonbonding pairs are physically larger than bonding pairs. Therefore, their repulsions are greater; this tends to decrease bond angles in a molecule. 19

20 Nonbonding Pairs and Bond Angle 20

21 Polarity In Chapter 7 we discussed bond dipoles. But just because a molecule possesses polar bonds does not mean the molecule as a whole will be polar. 21

22 Polar Molecules: The Influence of Molecular Geometry Molecular geometry affects molecular polarity. Due to the effect of the bond dipoles and how they either cancel or reinforce each other. A B A linear molecule nonpolar A B A angular molecule polar 22

23 Polarity By adding the individual bond dipoles, one can determine the overall dipole moment for the molecule. 23

24 Polarity 24

25 Polar Molecules: The Influence of Molecular Geometry Polar Molecules must meet two requirements: 1. One polar bond or one lone pair of electrons on central atom. 2. Neither bonds nor lone pairs can be symmetrically arranged that their polarities cancel. 25

26 Polarity 26

27 Valence Bond (VB) Theory Covalent bonds are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals. Atomic orbitals on the central atom can mix and exchange their character with other atoms in a molecule. Process is called hybridization. ybrids are common: 1. Pink flowers 2. Mules ybrid Orbitals have the same shapes as predicted by VSEPR. 27

29 Molecular Shapes and Bonding In the next sections we will use the following terminology: A = central atom B = bonding pairs around central atom U = lone pairs around central atom For example: AB 3 U designates that there are 3 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair around the central atom. 29

One lone pair - Seesaw shape 2. Two lone pairs - T-shape 3. Three lone pairs linear The lone pairs occupy equatorial positions because they are 120 o from two bonding pairs and 90 o from the other two bonding pairs.

86 Sigma (σ) Bonds Sigma bonds are characterized by ead-to-head overlap. Cylindrical symmetry of electron density about the internuclear axis. 86

87 Pi (π) Bonds Pi bonds are characterized by Side-to-side overlap. Electron density above and below the internuclear axis. 87

88 Single Bonds Single bonds are always σ bonds, because σ overlap is greater, resulting in a stronger bond and more energy lowering. 88

89 Multiple Bonds In a multiple bond one of the bonds is a σ bond and the rest are π bonds. 89

90 Compounds Containing Double Bonds Ethene or ethylene, C 2 4, is the simplest organic compound containing a double bond. Lewis dot formula N = 2(8) + 4(2) = 24 A = 2(4) + 4(1) = 12 S = 12 Compound must have a double bond to obey octet rule. C C or C C 90

91 Compounds Containing Double Bonds VSEPR Theory suggests that the C atoms are at center of trigonal planes. Valence Bond Theory (ybridization) C atom has four electrons.three electrons from each C atom are in sp 2 hybrids. One electron in each C atom remains in an unhybridized p orbital C C 91

92 Compounds Containing Double Bonds An sp 2 hybridized C atom has this shape. Remember there will be one electron in each of the three lobes. Top view of an sp 2 hybrid The single 2p orbital is perpendicular to the trigonal planar sp 2 lobes. The fourth electron is in the p orbital. Side view of sp 2 hybrid with p orbital included. 92

93 Compounds Containing Double Bonds Two sp 2 hybridized C atoms plus p orbitals in proper orientation to form C=C double bond. The head-on overlap of the sp 2 hybrids is designated as a σ bond. 93

94 Compounds Containing Double Bonds The other portion of the double bond, resulting from the side-on overlap of the p orbitals, is designated as a π bond. 94

95 Compounds Containing Double Bonds Thus a C=C bond looks like this and is made of two parts, one σ and one π bond. C C 95

96 Multiple Bonds In a molecule like formaldehyde (shown at left) an sp 2 orbital on carbon overlaps in σ fashion with the corresponding orbital on the oxygen. The unhybridized p orbitals overlap in π fashion. 96

97 Compounds Containing Triple Bonds Ethyne or acetylene, C 2 2, is the simplest triple bond containing organic compound. Lewis Dot Formula N = 2(8) + 2(2) = 20 A = 2(4) + 2(1) =10 S = 10 Compound must have a triple bond to obey octet rule. C C or C C 97

98 Compounds Containing Triple Bonds VSEPR Theory suggests regions of high electron density are 180 o apart. C C Valence Bond Theory (ybridization) Carbon has 4 electrons. Two of the electrons are in sp hybrids. Two electrons remain in unhybridized p orbitals. 98

99 Compounds Containing Triple Bonds An sp hybridized C atom has this shape. Remember there will be one electron in each of the two lobes. The two 2p orbital are perpendicular to the sp lobes. The third and fourth electrons are in the p orbitals. The head-on overlap of the sp 2 hybrids is designated as a σ bond. 99

100 Compounds Containing Triple Bonds A σ bond results from the head-on overlap of two sp hybrid orbitals. 100

101 Compounds Containing Triple Bonds The unhybridized p orbitals form two π bonds. Note that a triple bond consists of one σ and two π bonds. The final result is a bond that looks like this. C 101

102 Larger Molecules In larger molecules, it makes more sense to talk about the geometry about a particular atom rather than the geometry of the molecule as a whole. 102

103 Larger Molecules This approach makes sense, especially because larger molecules tend to react at a particular site in the molecule. 103
