CHEM 222—Descriptive Inorganic • Welcome back from break…hope all was well • Today’s coverage… • Syllabus—news, notes, etc from the syllabus • Course overview…again, sort of taken right from syllabus • Lab—today…start at 2:00 p.m. won’t last full period • Text—Rayner-Cahnam (4th edition).
…Structural Inorganic… Stoichiometry/Yields/LR Molarity and dilution Common polyatomic ions Solubility rules Redox reactions Oxidized/Reduced Agents (ox and red) Atomic Orbitals, shapes/types Electron Configurations Periodic trends (AR, IR, IE, EN) Bonds…covalent to ionic Lewis Dot Structures (VSEPR) Polarity (& other intermolecular) MO Theory Solution Chemistry (calcs) Equilibrium Ksubscript where the Ksub = a, b, c, w, sp, p Titration calculations Titration curves (strong/weak acids and base titrations) Representative Chemistry What to expect when you’re expecting…
Determine the number of valence electrons • Draw a skeletal structure (takes practice…use table below) • Distribute excess electrons—make octet • Excess electrons go to central atom, deficiency—multiple • Calculate formal charge of each atom (table below helps)
Oh, all right…I’ll go back to Organic • Not really going to drag this out much, you ALL should know this pretty well • Methane, ammonia and water, the unholy trinity? • 4:0 tetrahedral • 3:1 trigonal pyramidal! • 2:2 bent (I hate ‘angular’) • Note bond angles!!
Nomenclature—simple naming • Pretty scary looking table—not so bad if you note trends. • Consider phosphate, sulfate, nitrate, chlorate (parent) • Add an oxygen—add a ‘per’ • Lose an oxygen—’ate’ becomes ‘ite’ • Lose two oxygens—hypo ‘parent’ ite • ClOx series demonstrates this
Formal Charge—Quick and Dirty • Books give a formula for calculating formal charge, but those are pretty clunky…something simpler • Count all bonds (as 1) and lone pair electrons (1 for each electron) • Btw…thiocyanate? Replace the O with an S O C N # valence e’s (for element) 6 4 5 Number e’s (see counting) 6 4 6 Subtract 2 from 1 0 0 -1 Formal Charge resides on Nitrogen Here, formal charge is on the oxygen. Are these resonance forms?
Acid Base Chemistry • Probably should have learned this in General Chemistry, but alas…not so much. Time to recall • Equilibrium Ka, Kw…ring any bells? • Derive the Henderson Hasselbach equation • Use to calculate buffer solutions? • Instead of long drawn out lecture, perhaps best to do an AB review. Here, have a nice problem set.
Alternative version of Slater • Still 4 rules…modified from last week • Write the electron configuration based on “n”. • Electrons to the right contribute nothing • For s, p orbitals • Other electrons in same ‘n’ group—0.35 • Electrons in lower (n-1) group—0.85 • Electrons in n – 2 group—shield fully 1.00 • For d, f electrons • Other electrons in the (d or f) group—shield 0.35 • Everything else shields fully
Atomic Radius (cov. radii) • Covalent radii • Note smooth trend (for the most part) • Slater for F, Cl? Do the quick calcs • Makes sense • Na, K?
From Atomic Radius to IE • Zeff works well to explain AR—how about IE? • IE…defined as the energy needed to remove an electron • IE2 IE3 etc as the number of e’s removed increases. • Works “ok”, not perfect. • Why the break Be/B • N/O?? • K/Na?? • Again…Explanation!!!
Last bits from Chapter 2 • Bertrand’s rule—some better than none, some better than too much. • Avoid the black.
Brief overview of MO Theory • Hybridization of ATOMIC orbitals produces molecular orbitals (Organic should have drilled this into you) • Number of hybrid orbitals needed => number EG’s!! • That’s how EG is important…gives shape of molecule
So what happens when MO’s overlap? • First of all, you’ll likely form a bond!! • Picture on right shows the interaction of two orbitals. • Sigma and pi • Lighter shade of green denotes a (-) sign of the mathematical equation that describes this region of space • + and – interactions for orbitals really unhappy (nonbonding)
General Statements about MO • Signs of the wavefunctions must be the same • Two AO’s in…2 MO’s out. (bonding/antibonding *) • Good mixing comes from MO’s of similar energy • 1s mixes NOT with 4f… • MO’s have 2 e’s, spin up/spin down • Fill the MO’s the same way you fill AO’s for atoms • Maximum multipicity • Bond order? Number of bonding pairs – number anti
Doing the dirt simple ones H2 He • s, orbitals called ‘sigma bonds’ • p, orbitals called pi bonds • What “makes” sigma or pi bonds… • This designation comes from symmetry (which we cover in more detail later).
Molecular symmetry • What IS symmetry? Sort of an abstract concept, but for chemistry, it’s a molecule with indistinguishable configurations • The operations that leave a molecule “looking the same” (indistinguishable) are called “symmetry operation”
