1 VSEPR & Geometry Lewis structures show the number and type of bonds between atoms in a molecule or polyatomic ion. Lewis structures are not intended to show the 3-dimensional structure (i.e. shape or geometry) of the molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the bond angles and bond lengths between the atoms.

2 VSEPR & Geometry ond length: the distance between two atoms held together by a chemical bond ond length is affected by the number of bonds between the two atoms. Single bonds are longest. Triple bonds are shortest. O H ond angle: the angle made by the imaginary lies joining the nuclei of the atoms in a molecule o H

3 VSEPR & Geometry Many of the molecules we have discussed have a central atom surrounded by two or more outer atoms: A n where A = central atom = outer atom n = # of atoms Examples: CO 2, H 2 O, F 3, NH 3, CCl 4, CHCl 3

4 VSEPR & Geometry The shape of A n molecules depends, in part, on the value of n. A 2 molecules can either be linear or bent. CO 2 O C O linear H 2 O H O H bent

5 VSEPR & Geometry A 3 molecules can be trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, or T-shaped. Trigonal planar: Atom A in the center of an equilateral triangle with atoms at each corner. All atoms in the same plane. H H 3 H H

6 VSEPR & Geometry Trigonal pyramidal: The three atoms are arranged at the corners of an equilateral triangle Central atom A is located in the center but above the plane of the triangle. NH 3 H N H H

7 VSEPR & Geometry T-shaped: ClF 3 F Cl F F

8 VSEPR & Geometry How do you decide which A 3 molecules are trigonal planar, which are trigonal pyramidal, and which are T-shaped? If the central atom A is a main group element, the valence shell electron-pair repulsion model (VSEPR) can be used to predict the shape of a molecule (or polyatomic ion).

9 VSEPR & Geometry VSEPR counts the number of electron domains around the central atom and uses this number to predict the shape. Electron domain: A region around the central atom where electrons are likely to be found Two types of electron domains: onding electron domains Nonbonding electron domains

10 VSEPR & Geometry onding electron domains Also called bonding electrons Electrons that are shared between two atoms CCl 4 has 4 bonding pairs of electrons Cl Cl C Cl Cl

11 VSEPR & Geometry Nonbonding electron domains Also referred to as nonbonding pairs or lone pairs of electrons: Electrons that are found principally on one atom Unshared electrons H N H H

12 VSEPR & Geometry Example: Count the number of electron domains around the central atom in each of the following Lewis structures. H N H H O N O F F S F F O C O

13 VSEPR & Geometry Since electron domains are regions of high electron density, they tend to repel each other. According to VSEPR, the best arrangement of a specified number of electron domains is the one that minimizes repulsions between them by placing them as far away from each other as possible.

14 Electron Domain Geometry The electron domain geometry is found by counting the number of electrons domains and considering the arrangement that minimizes repulsions. Electron domain geometry: the arrangement of the electron domains around the central atom Linear Trigonal planar Tetrahedral Trigonal bipyramidal Octahedral

15 Electron Domain Geometry 2 electron domains Linear electron domain geometry 3 electron domains Trigonal planar e - domain geometry

16 Electron Domain Geometry 4 electron domains Tetrahedral electron domain geometry 5 electron domains Trigonal bipyramidal e - domain geometry

17 Electron Domain Geometry 6 electron domains Octahedral electron domain geometry

18 Electron Domain Geometry Drawing electron domain geometries in 3-d: A Trigonal planar A Tetrahedral

19 Electron Domain Geometry Drawing electron domain geometries in 3-d: A A Trigonal bipyramidal octahedral

20 Electron Domain Geometry To determine the name of the electron domain geometry: Draw the Lewis structure Count the number of electron domains around the central atom Double bonds and triple bonds count as 1 electron domain Assign the name of the electron domain geometry. You should also be able to draw a 3- dimensional structure for a given substance.

21 Electron Domain Geometry Example: Determine the name of the electron domain geometry for each of the following and draw an appropriate 3-dimensional structure for it. NO 2 - ClF 3

22 Electron Domain Geometry Example: Determine the name of the electron domain geometry for each of the following and draw an appropriate 3-dimensional structure for it. CH 4 XeF 4

23 Molecular Geometry Water has tetrahedral electron domain geometry: O H H The shape of the molecule itself, however, is not tetrahedral. Water has a bent molecular geometry.

24 Molecular Geometry Molecular geometry: The arrangement in space of the atoms in a molecule or polyatomic ion Molecular geometry is a consequence of the electron domain geometry. Lone pairs of electrons take up space around the central atom. The atoms in the molecules occupy positions around the central atom that minimizes repulsion between all of the electron domains.

25 Molecular Geometry Each type of electron domain geometry gives rise to certain specific types of molecular geometries. The electron domain geometry and molecular geometry are the same only if all of the electron domains are bonding domains. H H C H H Tetrahedral e.d. and molecular geometry

26 Molecular Geometry Tables 9.2 and 9.3 list all possible molecular geometries for each of the five electron domain geometries. You must be able to determine the name of the e.d. geometry and the molecular geometry. You must be able to draw each geometry in 3-dimensions.
