Determining 3-D VESPR Stuctures 1. Draw Lewis Structure of Molecule Don't need to compute formal charge If several resonance structures exist, pick only one 2. Count electron pair domains Lone pairs and bond pairs around central atom Mul?ple bonds count as one set (or one effec?ve pair) 3. Arrange electron pair domains to minimize repulsions Lone pairs Require more space than bonding pairs May slightly distort bond angles from those predicted. In trigonal bipyramid lone pairs are equatorial In octahedron lone pairs are axial 4. Name molecular structure by posibon of atoms only bonding electrons
Polarity If symmetrical polar bonds around a central atom then they cancel and there is no overall dipole moment. Molecule is usually polar if All atoms agached to central atom are NOT same, OR There are one or more lone pairs on central atom EXCEPT:
Valence Bond Theory Valence Bond Theory Individual atoms, each have their own orbitals and orbitals overlap to form bonds. Extent of overlap of atomic orbitals is related to bond strength Hybridization = mixing atomic orbitals sp: Linear sp 3 d: Trigonal Bipyramidal sp 2 : Planar Triangular sp 3 : Tetrahedral sp 3 d 2 : Octahedral
1) Draw lewis dot structure Valence Bond Theory 2) How many lone pairs & bonded atoms will repel one another? That is the number of hybrid orbitals needed 2: sp 3: sp 2 4: sp 3 5: sp 3 d 6: sp 3 d 2 3) Convert the needed number of atomic orbitals into hybridized orbitals. 4) Fill in valence electrons. Remember that any p orbitals will be close enough in energy that they both hybrid & remaining p orbitals will fill half way with electrons before they pair. 5) Draw hybrid orbitals equally spaced around the central atom: a) Form σ bonds using hybrid orbitals with one electron b) Hybrid orbitals with two electrons are likely lone pairs c) If any lone electrons are in p orbitals π bonds will form 6) Describe molecular geometry around central atom(s).
Valence Bond Theory: Example N 2 :N N: E p s AO of N p sp Hybrid & AO of N Lone pair and atom bonded to Nitrogen will repel each other. Therefore, need to hybridize 2 orbitals One hybrid orbital with one electron will par?cipate in a σ bond with the other nitrogen The other hybrid orbital contains a lone pair 2 p orbitals each have 1 electron so form 2 π bonds to the other nitrogen
Molecular Orbital Theory Molecular Orbital Theory Views molecule as collection of positively charged nuclei having a set of molecular orbitals that are filled with electrons (similar to filling atomic orbitals with electrons). Doesn't worry about how atoms come together to form molecule!"#$%"&$'&%(% )#*+,'&%"-%,"#$.#/%e )! )#*+,'&%"-%0#1.,"#$.#/%e ) 2%'3'41&"#56,"#$
