Geometries Electron pair geometry Molecular Geometry
arrangement of electron pairs around a central atom Molecular Geometry arrangement of atoms around a central atom When all electron pairs are bonding pairs electron pair geometry = molecular geometry When there are unshared electron pairs electron pair geometry ¹ molecular geometry
11
To determine electron pair geometry
draw Lewis dot structure count shared & unshared electron pairs around central atom a multiple bond is counted as only one bonding pair when predicting geometry determine electron pair geometry based on the number of electron pairs 2 pair = linear 3 pair = trigonal planar 4 pair = tetrahedral 5 pair = trigonal bipyramidal 6 pair = octahedral

Molecular Polarity Molecules are always non-polar if all covalent bonds are non-polar N2, P4, Cl2 Molecules with polar bonds can be polar or non-polar H - Cl polar bond, polar molecular O=C=O two polar bonds but total molecule is non-polar
23
H Cl O C O equal but opposite forces cancel out Þ non-polar molecule
d+ d- H Cl equal but opposite forces cancel out Þ non-polar molecule d+ d- d- O C O
24
O H no yes are these dipole moments equal & opposite?
is this molecule polar?
25
Cl Cl C Cl Cl yes no are these bond dipole moments equal & opposite?
is this molecule polar?
26
H H C Cl Cl no yes are these bond dipole moments equal & opposite?
is this molecule polar?
27
Single and Multiple Bonds
s (sigma) bonds always the first bond between two atoms single bonds are localized between two atoms orbitals from two atoms overlap, allowing electrons to be shared electron density is on the internuclear axis C • localized electrons
28
C C p (pi) bonds • • the second & third bonds between two atoms
p bond electrons can be delocalized over several atoms to form resonance structures electron density is above & below the internuclear axis electron density can move or delocalize C • • electron density above & below--p bond internuclear axis C
29
Hybridization allows for greater number of bonds
types of hybridization sp mixing of one s orbital & one p orbital ¯ 2s p sp p sp2 mixing of one s orbital & two p orbitals ¯ 2s p sp p sp3 mixing of one s orbital & three p orbitals ¯ 2s p sp3
30
in sp hybridization in sp2 hybridization in sp3 hybridization
the two sp hybrid orbitals form two s bonds with linear geometry remaining two p orbitals form p bonds in sp2 hybridization the three hybrid orbitals form three s bonds with trigonal planar geometry the remaining one p orbital forms a p bond in sp3 hybridization the four hybrid orbitals form four s bonds with tetrahedral geometry sp3 hybrid atoms can form no p bonds as they have no unhybridized p orbitals
31
Molecular Orbitals mathematical combinations of atomic orbitals
delocalized over whole molecule n atomic orbitals produce n molecular orbitals ½ are bonding orbitals and ½ are antibonding orbitals bond order # bonding electrons - # antibonding electron
