Molecular Geometry


3

The Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Method based on the idea that pairs of valence electrons in bonded atoms repel one another. Assumes electron pairs try to get as far apart as possible Each electron pair or bond takes up ~ same amount of space # of bonds or pairs determines molecular geometry Molecular Geometry: The shape of a molecule that describes the location of nuclei & the connections between them.


Molecules with No Lone Pairs Bond angles due to # of repulsions Each bond takes up space of 1 electron pair AB2

AB3

Linear

Trigonal planar

AB5

Trigonal bipyramid

AB4

Tetrahedral

AB6

Octahedral

Molecules with Lone Pairs: Know table 10.2 Lone pair electrons not seen but take up space Act as “invisible bond” Count electrons as E’s Single, double or triple bonds count as 1 bond

To determine molecular geometry

Add up all the B’s and E’s on the molecule 



H O  H B A B AB2E2  The sum equals number of spaces needed 2B + 2E = 4 # spaces = 4 Match to table of geometries without lone pairs 

Electron pair geometry: Tetrahedral Molecular Geometry: Bent

Molecules with More than 1 Central Atom

VSEPR must be done separately for each atom

May result in a different molecular geometry around each one

Valence Bond Theory and Hybridization


Valance Bond Theory: Formation of H2(g) Covalent bond formation Electrons in 1s atomic orbitals pair Opposing spins occupy the overlap region between 2 atoms Shield nuclei from each other

Delocalization Area of high electron density (red) Lowers energy, provides stability Bonding electrons are found in the overlap region (covalent bond)

14


Carbon Bonding Electronic configuration C should have 2 bonds 2 half-filled orbitals on C

[He] 2s22px12py12pz0

Experimentally C has 4 identical bonds: CH4 Implies 4 half-filled orbitals [He] 2s12px12py12pz1 Excite 2s1 electron to 2pz orbital

Problems with Theory 4 bonds, but orbitals of differing energies, bond lengths 3 bonds: H 1s C 2p Higher energy 1 bond: H 1s C 2s Lower energy

16

Hybrid Orbitals Model that predicts shape based on atomic orbitals Allows use of electrons in s, p and d orbitals in bond Creates several identical bonds “Averages� orbital energies to equalize bonds

Used for central atoms in covalent bonds

# hybrid orbitals = # combining atomic orbitals

Use VSEPR and Lewis theory to predict geometry

Determine Lewis structure and VSEPR notation Orientation of determines electron geometry Determine hybridization based on VSEPR model Electron pairs may occupy 1 or more of the hybrid orbitals
