A) 1s2 2s2 2px2 (6 valence e-) B) 1s2 2s2 2px1 2py12pz0 (4 valence e-) C) 1s2 2s2 2px12py12pz1 (3 valence e-) D) 1s2 1px1 1py12s2 (4 valence e-) E) 1s2 2s2 2px2 (4 valence e-) Electron Configurations Noble Gases and The Rule of Eight When two nonmetals react to form a covalent bond: They share electrons to achieve a Noble gas electron configuration. When a nonmetal and a metal react to form an ionic compound: Valence electrons of the metal are lost and the nonmetal gains these electrons. G.N. Lewis Photo Bancroft Library, University of California/LBNL Image Library Footnote: G.N. Lewis, despite his insight and contributions to chemistry, was never awarded the Nobel prize. Notes from Lewis Lewis s notebook and his Lewis Lewis structure.
Ionic Compounds Ionic compounds are formed when electron(s) are transferred. Electrons go from less electronegative element to the more electronegative forming ionic bonds. Covalent Compounds Share electrons. 1 pair = 1 bond. Octet rule ( duet for hydrogen) Lewis structures: Notice the charges: In one case they balance, can you name the compound? In the other they do not, can you name the polyatomic ion? More about formal charge to come. Question 1.2 Important Bond Numbers (Neutral Atoms!)

Formal Charge Equals the number of valence electrons of the free atom minus [the number of unshared valence electrons in the molecule + 1/2 the number of shared valence electrons in the molecule]. Moving/Adding/Subtracting atoms and electrons. See examples on the board. Formal charge = number of valence electrons (number of lone pair electrons +1/2 number of bonding electrons) NO 3 Nitric Acid Question 1.5 What is the formal charge of the sulfur atom in the Lewis structure? A) -1 B) 0 C) +1 D) +2 Resonance Theory Whenever a molecule or ion can be represented by more than 1 valid Lewis structure where the difference is only in the positions of the electrons not atoms, then: 1. No single resonance structure is a correct one for it. 2. Instead, the actual molecule or ion will be a hybrid or weighted average of these structures which are not all equal. There contribution varies. 3. See Table 1.6 pp. 27-28 Therefore, Resonance Structures exist only in theory and are mental constructs, which are very important and useful for predicting chemical behavior and chemical reactivity nevertheless. Resonance( ) Equilibrium ( ) Resonance Question 1.6 ow many resonance structures can be written for the NO 3 - ion in which the nitrogen atom bears a formal charge of +1? A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4 E) 5
Question 1.7 Which resonance structure contributes more to the hybrid? A) B) VSEPR Model Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion VSEPR VSEPR Model The molecular structure of a given atom is determined principally by minimizing electron pair (bonded &free) repulsions through maximizing separations. Some examples of minimizing interactions. Predicting a VSEPR Structure 1. Draw Lewis structure. 2. Put pairs as far apart as possible. 3. Determine positions of atoms from the way electron pairs are shared. 4. Determine the name of molecular structure from positions of the atoms.

Covalent Compounds Equal sharing of electrons: nonpolar covalent bond, same electronegativity (e.g., 2 ) Unequal sharing of electrons between atoms of different electronegativities: polar covalent bond (e.g., F) Question 1.8 Which of the following bonds is the most polar? A) B) C) D) Bond Dipole & Dipole Moment Question 1.9 Dipole moments are experimentally measured.

A) B) C) D)
Bond Polarity A molecule, such as F, that has a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge is polar, and has a dipole moment. The partial charge is represented by δ and the polarity with a vector arrow. F δ+ Question 1.10 In which of the compounds below is the δ+ for the greatest? A) C4 B) N3 C) Si4 D) 2O δ Question 1.11 Electrostatic Potential Maps Models that visually portray polarity and dipoles In which of the following is oxygen the positive end of the bond dipole? A) O-F B) O-N C) O-S D) O- ydrogen alides Molecular Polarity & Dipole Moment When identical polar bonds point in opposite directions, the effects of their polarities cancel, giving no net dipole moment. When they do not point in opposite directions, there is a net effect and a net molecular dipole moment, designated δ.
Molecular Dipole Moment The vector sum of the magnitude and the direction of the individual bond dipole determines the overall dipole moment of a molecule An electrically charged rod attracts a stream of chloroform but has no effect on a stream of carbon tetrachloride.

A sigma bond (σ) is formed by end-on overlap of two p orbitals Double bonds have 1 π and 1 σ bond. A π bond is weaker than a σ bond. A double bond is shorter and stronger than a single bond.
A pi bond (π) is formed by sideways overlap of two parallel p orbitals. A π bond is weaker than a σ bond. A double bond is shorter and stronger than a single bond. Bonding in Methane and Ethane: Single Bonds ybridization of orbitals: The orbitals used in bond formation determine the bond angles Tetrahedral bond angle: 109.5 ybrid Orbitals of Ethane The sigma bond (σ) between the carbon atoms is part of the overall hybridization. The molecular orbital allows rotation about the C-C single bond. Electron pairs spread themselves into space as far from each other as possible Bonding in Ethene Carbon Double Bonds Double bonds have 1 π and 1 σ bond. A π bond is weaker than a σ bond. A double bond is shorter and stronger than a single bond. The pi bond (π) of the sp2 hybrid does not allow rotation about the double bond. This produces a fixed geometry about the double bond and results in cis-trans, (Z-E), isomerism The bond angles of the sp2 carbon are about 120 The sp2 carbon is trigonal planar The atoms bonded to the sp2 carbon are all in the same plane
