Presentation Transcript

  1. Molecular StructuresSection 9.3 Chemistry

  2. Objectives • Explain why resonance occurs, and Identify resonance structures. • Explain three exceptions to the octet rule, and Identify molecules in which these exceptions occur.

  3. Resonance Structures • Resonance Structures: a condition that occurs when more than one valid Lewis structure can be written for a molecule or ion. • Ex: CO3

  4. Carbonate Resonance Structures

  5. Resonance Structures • Resonance structures differ only in the position of the electron pairs, never the atom positions

  6. 3 Exceptions to the Octet Rule • There are some exceptions to the octet rule. • What do you notice about the molecule to the right?

  7. 1st Exception • Central atom has more than 8 valence electrons • EXPANDED OCTET

  8. 2nd Exception • What do you notice about the molecule to the right?

  9. 2nd Exception • Some compounds form with fewer than 8 electrons around an atom • Coordinate covalent bond: One atom donates a pair of electrons to be shared with an atom or ion that needs two electrons to become stable

  10. 3rd Exception • What do you notice about the molecule to the right?

  11. 3rd Exception • Small group of molecules has an odd number of valence electrons and cannot form an octet

  12. Homework • 42-48(omit c in 48) page 258
