Molecular Geometry and Bonding Theories AP Chemistry – Ch 9 Mr. Christopherson
VSEPR Theory • Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory • Electron pairs orient themselves around the central atom in order to minimize repulsive forces. They get as far apart from each other as possible. Courtesy Christy Johannesson www.nisd.net/communicationsarts/pages/chem
Lone pairs repel more strongly than bonding pairs!!! VSEPR Theory • Types of e- Pairs • Bonding pairs - form bonds • Lone pairs - nonbonding electrons Courtesy Christy Johannesson www.nisd.net/communicationsarts/pages/chem
Bond Angle VSEPR Theory • Lone pairs reduce the bond angle between atoms because they repel more strongly than bonding pairs. Courtesy Christy Johannesson www.nisd.net/communicationsarts/pages/chem
Know the 8 common shapes & their bond angles! Determining Molecular Shape • Draw the Lewis Diagram. • Count up e- pairs on central atom. • double/triple bonds = ONE pair • Shape is determined by the # of bonding pairs and lone pairs.
