IIIIII I. Lewis Diagrams (p ) Ch. 6 – Molecular Structure

A. Octet Rule n Remember…  Most atoms form bonds in order to have 8 valence electrons.

 Hydrogen  2 valence e -  Groups 1,2,3 get 2,4,6 valence e -  Expanded octet  more than 8 valence e - (e.g. S, P, Xe)  Radicals  odd # of valence e - n Exceptions: A. Octet Rule F B F F H O HN O Very unstable!! F F S F F

B. Drawing Lewis Diagrams n Find total # of valence e -. n Arrange atoms - singular atom is usually in the middle. n Form bonds between atoms (2 e - ). n Distribute remaining e - to give each atom an octet (recall exceptions). n If there aren’t enough e - to go around, form double or triple bonds.

C. Polyatomic Ions n To find total # of valence e - :  Add 1e - for each negative charge.  Subtract 1e - for each positive charge. n Place brackets around the ion and label the charge.

IIIIII II. Molecular Geometry (p ) Ch. 6 – Molecular Structure

A. VSEPR Theory n Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory n Electron pairs orient themselves in order to minimize repulsive forces.

A. VSEPR Theory n Types of e - Pairs  Bonding pairs - form bonds  Lone pairs - nonbonding e - Lone pairs repel more strongly than bonding pairs!!!

A. VSEPR Theory n Lone pairs reduce the bond angle between atoms. Bond Angle

n Draw the Lewis Diagram. n Tally up e - pairs on central atom.  double/triple bonds = ONE pair n Shape is determined by the # of bonding pairs and lone pairs. Know the 8 common shapes & their bond angles! B. Determining Molecular Shape

Dipole-Dipole Forces n Attractive forces between polar covalent molecules

London (Dispersion) Forces n Attractive forces between the electron clouds of large molecules in large quantity n Larger mass = Larger London Forces

Hydrogen Bonding n Special dipole-dipole attraction that involves H bonded with high electronegative elements N, O, or F
