Dr. S. M. Condren Chapter 10 Molecular Geometry and Chemical Bonding Theory
Dr. S. M. Condren What is the “shape” of the molecule? How are valence electrons in a molecule distributed among the orbitals? What are the shapes of these orbitals? What order are they occupied?
Dr. S. M. Condren Molecular Geometry VSEPR Theory Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory draw Lewis electron dot structure count the number of bonding electron pairs about central atom (double and triple bonds count as one pair for shape prediction) count the number of lone pairs of electrons match electron pair information to shapes

Shape: PCl 3 Lewis Electron Dot Structure :Cl P : Cl: :Cl:.. 3 bond pairs 1 lone pair=>AB 3 E trigonal pyramidal shape
Dr. S. M. Condren Shape: IF 5 Lewis Electron Dot Structure.... : F : : F : : I : F : : F : :F : bonds pairs 1 lone pair=> AB 5 E Square pyramidal shaped
Dr. S. M. Condren Shape: IF 4 -1 Lewis Electron Dot Structure : F : : F : : I : F : : F :.. 4 bond pairs 2 lone pairs=> AB 4 E 2 square planar shape
Dr. S. M. Condren Shape: SO 3 Lewis Electron Dot Structure.. : O : S : : O : : O :.. 3 bond pairs 0 lone pairs=>AB 3 trigonal planar shape
Dr. S. M. Condren What would be expected to be the shape of chloroform, CHCl 3 ? “see-saw” square planar tetrahedral

Hybrid Orbitals
Dr. S. M. Condren
What would be the name of the hybrid orbitals created by joining 1s type, 3 p type and 2 d type orbitals? spd sp 3 d 2 s 3 p 2 d
Dr. S. M. Condren Bonding in Water
Dr. S. M. Condren Hydrogen Bonds
Dr. S. M. Condren Water, H 2 O, and methane, CH 4, have very similar molar masses yet the boiling point for water is approximately 200 o C higher than that for methane. The higher boiling point is due to: hydrogen bonding in water polarity of water molecules both of the above none of the above
Dr. S. M. Condren Carbon monoxide, CO and carbon dioxide, CO 2, are linear molecules. Which one is the polar molecule: CO CO 2
