Chapter 9 Molecular Geometry Bonding Theories
Molecular Shape • A bond angle is the angle defined by lines joining the centers of two atoms to a third atom to which they are covalently bonded • The molecular geometry or shape is defined by the lowest energy arrangement of its atoms in threedimensional space.
VSEPR Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion Theory The geometric arrangement of atoms bonded to a given atom is determined principally by minimizing electron pair repulsions of bonding and nonbonding electrons.
Central Atoms without Lone Pairs Steric number (SN) is the number of volumes of space occupied by electrons surrounding a central atom
Geometric Forms
Predicting a VSEPR Structure 1. Draw Lewis structure. 2. Determine the steric number of the central atom. 3. Use the SN to determine the geometry around the central atom. 4. The name for molecular structure is determined by the number of volumes of space occupied by bonding electrons.

Central Atoms with Lone Pairs • Electron-pair geometry describes the arrangement of atoms and lone pairs of electrons about a central atom. § The electron-pair geometry will always be one of the five geometries presented previously. • The molecular geometry in these molecules describes the shape of the atoms present (it excludes the lone pairs).
Lone Pairs • Lone pairs of electrons occupy more space around a central atom than do bonding electrons. • Lone pair-lone pair repulsion is the largest. • Lone pair-bonding pair repulsion is the next largest. • Bonding pair-bonding pair repulsion is the smallest. • In structures with lone pairs on the central atom, the bond angles are a little smaller than predicted based on the electron-pair geometry.

Polar Bonds and Polar Molecules • Two covalently bonded atoms with different electronegativities have partial electric charges of opposite sign creating a bond dipole. • A molecule is called a polar molecule when it has polar bonds and a shape where the bond dipoles don’t offset each other.
Examples
Measuring Polarity The permanent dipole moment ( ) is a measured value that defines the extent of separation of positive and negative charge centers in a covalently bonded molecule.
Valence Bond Theory • Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals to generate new sets of orbitals that are then available to overlap and form covalent bonds with other atoms. • A hybrid atomic orbital is one of a set of equivalent orbitals about an atom created when specific atomic orbitals are mixed.
Valence-Bond Theory • Valence-bond theory assumes that covalent bonds form when orbitals on different atoms overlap or occupy the same region of space. • A sigma ( ) bond is a covalent bond in which the highest electron density lies between the two atoms along the bond axis connecting them.
Atomic Orbitals and Bonds • • A tetrahedral molecule requires that four orbitals of the central atom must overlap with an orbital of an outer atom to form a bond. The central atom would use its s orbital and its three p orbitals, but these orbitals would not yield the 109° bond angles observed in the tetrahedral molecule.

Hybrid Orbital Notation In order to construct hybrid orbital notation, we need to separate the central atom from the surrounding electrons, usually the central atom is the largest, the most electronegative, or the one that there is one of.
Hybrid Orbital Notation In order to construct hybrid orbital notation, we need to separate the central atom from the surrounding electrons, usually the central atom is the largest, the most electronegative, or the one that there is one of. When constructing a hybrid orbital diagram, all of the valence electrons of the central atom are used and only the single electrons of the atoms attached to the central atom are use.
Hybrid Orbital Example Suppose we want to make a diagram of SF 6 First we separate the central atom from the other atoms. The central atom is A and the other atoms are called X’s A SF 6 X’s

Noble Gas Compounds Critics of the hybrid orbital theory argued that the hybrid orbital theory suggests that compounds of Noble gases should exist or be made. In 1962 Neil Bartlett created a compound of xenon, platinum and fluorine. Today there are now several hundred Noble gas compounds known. University of British Columbia

Problems with Bonding Theories • Lewis structure and valence bond theory help us understand the bonding capacities of elements. • VSEPR and valence bond theories account for the observed molecular geometries. • None of these models enables us to explain why O 2 is attracted to a magnetic field while N 2 is repelled slightly.
Molecular Orbital (MO) Theory • The wave functions of atomic orbitals of atoms are combined to create molecular orbitals (MOs) in molecules. § Each MO is associated with an entire molecule, not just a single atom. MOs are spread out, or delocalized over all the atoms in a molecule.
Types of MOs • Electrons in bonding orbitals serve to hold atoms together in molecules by increasing the electron density between nuclear centers. • Electrons in antibonding orbitals in a molecule destabilize the molecule because they do not increase the electron density between nuclear centers.
MO Guidelines 1. The total number of MO formed equals the number of atomic orbitals used in the mixing process. 2. Orbitals with similar energy and shape mix more effectively than do those that are different. 3. Orbitals of different principal quantum numbers have different sizes and energies resulting in less effective mixing. 4. A MO can accommodate two electrons with opposite spin. 5. Electrons are placed in MO diagrams according to Hund’s rule.
MOs for H 2 • The two 1 s orbitals may be added or subtracted to yield two MOs.
Bond Order = 1/2 (# bonding electrons - # antibonding electrons) The bond order is zero in He 2 and the molecule is not stable.
BOND ORDER Useful concept: The net number of bonds existing after the cancellation of bonds by antibonds. In He 2 the electronic configuration is…. ( 1 s)2( 1 s*)2 the two bonding electrons were cancelled out by the two antibonding electrons. There is no BOND! 67 BOND ORDER = 0!!!!! So……. .
Bond Types • A sigma, , bond is a covalent bond in which the highest electron density lies along the bond axis. • A pi, , bond is formed by the mixing of atomic orbitals that are not oriented along the bonding axis in a molecule.

Localized/MO Combination Recalling the molecular orbital diagram for carbon we notice that the sigma and sigma antibonding fill before the pi bonds. Since this does not contribute to the bond order it makes sense that we can use localized bonding (line) to describe a sigma bond and use molecular orbitals on just the pi bonding electrons.
Localized/MO Combination Consider ozone, O 3, we can use lines to connect the three oxygen atoms together and do a molecular orbital diagram on just the unhybridized p-orbitals. Then we arrange three combinations of p-orbitals in increasing potential energy order by counting the nodes. Potential energy is inversely proportional to the number of nodes.

F 2+, which forces the chlorine atoms closer together. C. ICl 2 -, with 3 lone pairs, is linear whereas Br. F 2+, with 2 lone pairs, is bent. Bond Angles of Br. F 2 and ICl 2

Please consider the following arguments for each answer and vote again: A. BF 3 can dimerize to BF 3 -BF 3 by forming a boron single bond. B. By forming a boron-carbon bond, the carbon atom in CH 4 will increase its steric number to 5, thus expanding its octet to compensate for boron's incomplete octet. C. The nitrogen lone electron pair can form a nitrogenboron bond yielding BF 3 -NH 3, isoelectronic with CH 3 -CH 3. Reaction of Boron Trifluoride

If chlorine atoms were substituted for two hydrogen atoms, how many of the possible structures would also not possess a dipole moment? A) 0 B) 1 C) 2 Dipole Moments of Dichloroethylene
Consider the following arguments for each answer and vote again: A. Chlorine atoms always draw electron density away from carbon atoms, so all possible structures will possess a dipole moment. B. Only if the chlorine atoms are diagonally opposite will the two carbon-chlorine dipole moments cancel each other. C. So long as the two chlorine atoms are on different carbon atoms, no permanent dipole moment will form. Dipole Moments of Dichloroethylene
