Predicting Molecular Geometry

1. Draw Lewis structure for molecule.
2. Count number of lone pairs on the central atom
   and number of atoms bonded to the central atom.
3. Use VSEPR to predict the geometry of the molecule.

Sharing of two electrons between the two atoms.
Valence bond theory bonds are formed by sharing
of e- from overlapping atomic orbitals.

Hybridization mixing of two or more atomic
orbitals to form a new set of hybrid orbitals.

• Mix at least 2 nonequivalent atomic orbitals
  (e.g. s and p). Hybrid orbitals have very
  different shape from original atomic orbitals.
• Number of hybrid orbitals is equal to number of
  pure atomic orbitals used in the hybridization
  process.
• Covalent bonds are formed by
• Overlap of hybrid orbitals with atomic orbitals
• Overlap of hybrid orbitals with other hybrid
  orbitals

Experiments show O2 is paramagnetic (has UNPAIRED
e-)
No unpaired e-
Should be diamagnetic
MO Theory is NOT in the AP Chemistry Curriculum
and will NOT be on the AP exam! This is just a
quick overview!
Molecular orbital theory bonds are formed from
interaction of atomic orbitals to form molecular
orbitals.

Energy levels of bonding and antibonding
molecular orbitals in hydrogen (H2).
A bonding molecular orbital has lower energy and
greater stability than the atomic orbitals from
which it was formed.
An antibonding molecular orbital has higher
energy and lower stability than the atomic
orbitals from which it was formed.

Molecular Orbital (MO) Configurations

• The number of molecular orbitals (MOs) formed is
  always equal to the number of atomic orbitals
  combined.
• The more stable the bonding MO, the less stable
  the corresponding antibonding MO.
• The filling of MOs proceeds from low to high
  energies.
• Each MO can accommodate up to two electrons.
• Use Hunds rule when adding electrons to MOs of
  the same energy.
• The number of electrons in the MOs is equal to
  the sum of all the electrons on the bonding atoms.
