Lewis Structures and Bonding • Use NASB to draw dot diagrams. • N – electrons needed to fill valence (8 or 2) • A- electrons available in atom • S – electrons shared = N – A • B – formed bonds (S divided by 2)
In Cl2, the total number of unshared pairs of electrons is 6. • Cl + ClCl―Cl or Cl:Cl • The diatomic molecule N2 contains a triple covalent bond. • N + N N≡N or N⋮⋮N • In the N2 molecule, there is only one unshared pair of electrons in each nitrogen atom.
The HI molecule contains only one single covalent bond. • H• + I H―I or H:I • There are 2 double covalent bonds in a molecule of CO2. • C 2 O O═C═O or O::C::O • Carbon monoxide has a triple covalent bond. C O C≡O OR C⋮⋮O
Bonding Theories • According to VSEPR theory, molecules adjust their shapes to keep pairs of valence electrons as far apart as possible. • VSEPR – • Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion • A stereoactive set is a shared pair or an unshared pair of electrons around the central atom.
According to VSEPR theory repulsive forces between unshared pairs of electrons causes water molecules to have their shape.
Bond angle = 109.5 degrees Example: CH4 Bond angle = 106.5 degrees Example: NH3
Bond angle = 104.5 degrees Example: H2O Bond angle = 120 degrees Example: CO32-
Bond angle = 118.6 degrees Example: O3 Bond angle = 180 degrees Example: CO2
Intermolecular Forces • Intermolecular forces – forces between 2 molecules • Van der Waals forces - weakest attractions between molecules • Dipoleinteractions – polar molecules attracted to one another • Dispersion forces – caused by the motion of electrons
Hydrogen bonds – strongest intermolecular forces • Hydrogen covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom is also bonded to an unshared electron pair of another electronegative atom. • H2O is a polar molecule. • 2 H• + O H:O:H
