Molecular Structure
  • Molecular geometry is the general shape of a
    molecule or the arrangement of atoms in three
    dimensional space.

Physical and chemical properties depend on the
geometry of a molecule.

VSEPR Model
  • The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion model
    predicts the shapes of molecules and ions by
    assuming that the valence shell electron pairs
    are arranged as far from one another as possible
    to minimize the repulsion between them.

VSEPR Model
H
  • Electron Pair Geometry
  • is determined by the number and arrangement of
    all electron pairs (bonding and lone) around the
    central atom.
  • Molecular geometry
  • is determined by the arrangement of atoms (or
    bonding electron pairs only) around the central
    atom.

  • Only five basic shapes.
  • When a lone pair replaces an atom, the molecular
    geometry changes as well as the angles.

Predicting Molecular Geometry VSEPR
  • Draw the Lewis structure.
  • Determine how many electron pairs (bonded and
    non-bonded) are around the central atom. Treat
    a multiple bond like a single bond when
    determining a shape.
  • Write the AXE shorthand notation.
  • Determine the electron pair geometry (one of
    the five basic shapes).
  • If the molecule has lone pairs around the central
    atom, then determine the molecular geometry.
    (This is a subset of the electron geometry.)

34
Molecular Geometry Dipole Moment and Polarity
  • Electronegativity (EN) values are used to predict
    the polarity of covalent bonds. The greater ?EN,
    the more polar will be the bond. A polar bond
    has a dipole or slight separation of charge (from
    the unequal sharing of bond electrons). Chapter
    8
  • The polarity of a molecule depends on the sum of
    all the bond dipoles (vectors). If there is a
    net dipole for the molecule, than the molecule is
    polar. A molecule that has polar bonds may or
    may not be polar.
  • The dipole moment (µ) is a measure of the degree
    of charge separation or the polarity.

36
Molecular Geometry Dipole Moment and Polarity
  • In general, a molecule is polar if
  • it isnt a basic VSEPR shape (symmetrical)
  • Ex H2O, bent (polar)
  • or if the terminal atoms/groups in a
  • basic VSEPR shape differ.
  • Ex CH2Cl2, tetrahedral (polar)

37
Dipole Moment and Molecular Geometry
  • Molecules that exhibit any asymmetry in the
    distribution of electrons would have a nonzero
    net dipole moment. These molecules are considered
    polar.

Non polar VSEPR shape identical atoms

  • Which compounds on the list are non-polar?

42
Orbitals Consistent with Molecular Shape
  • Lewis dot VSEPR gives the correct shape for a
    molecule. BUT

How do atomic orbitals (s, p, d ) produce these
shapes?
Valence bond theory describes a bond as an
overlap of atomic (hybrid) orbitals.
43

HF
44
Valence Bond Theory
and, why do we draw the Lewis structures like
we do?
  • This works for H2 and HF, but
  • Why does Be form compounds?
  • no unpaired electrons
  • Why does C form 4 equivalent bonds at tetrahedral
    angles?
  • only two unpaired electrons
  • p orbitals are at 90 to each other (not 109.5)

45
Orbitals Consistent with Molecular Shapes
  • Atomic orbitals (AOs) can be hybridized (mixed).
  • Sets of identical hybrid orbitals form identical
    bonds.
  • AOs that hybridize hybrids orbitals .
  • s p sp sp
  • s p p sp2 sp2 sp2
  • etc.

46
sp Hybrid Orbitals
  • AX2E0, Ex BeCl2,

sp hybridization occurs around the central atom
whenever there are two regions of high e-
density. Two equivalent covalent bonds form

What are the hybridization and approximate bond
angles for each C, N, O in the given molecules?
60
What about multiple bonding!
  • According to valence bond theory hybrid orbitals
    include
  • single bonds
  • lone pairs
  • one of the bonds in a multiple bond.
  • The electrons in the unhybridized atomic orbitals
    are used to form the additional multiple bonds.

61
Multiple Bonding
  • A s (sigma) bond is an overlap of orbitals
    (hybrids) along the bond axis.
  • A p (pi) bond is a overlap of parallel p
    orbitals, creating an electron distribution above
    and below the bond axis.

distributed in the molecule, polarization occurs.

London Forces! (Nonpolar molecules do not
experience any other intermolecular interaction)

Types of Intermolecular Forces
To boil (l g), molecules must have enough
energy to overcome their intermolecular forces.
The higher the intermolecular force the higher
the boiling point!
Dispersion Forces increase with increased number
of electrons.
