~ 0.1 nm Anders Jöns Ångström (1814-1874) 1 Å = 10 picometers = 0.1 nanometers = 10-4 microns = 10-8 centimeters Nucleus = 1/10,000 of the atom • 1 nm = 10 Å • An atom vs. a nucleus • ~10,000 x larger
Question 1.1 • What is the electronic configuration of carbon? • A) 1s2 2s2 2px2 • B) 1s2 2s2 2px1 2py12pz0 • C) 1s2 2s2 2px12py12pz1 • D) 1s2 1px1 1py12s2
Electron Configurations Noble Gases and The Rule of Eight • When two nonmetalsreact to form a covalent bond: They share electrons to achieve a Noble gas electron configuration. • When anonmetaland a metal react to form an ionic compound: Valence electrons of the metalare lost and the nonmetal gains these electrons.
Notes from Lewis’s notebook and his “Lewis” structure. G.N. Lewis Photo Bancroft Library, University of California/LBNL Image Library Footnote: G.N. Lewis, despite his insight and contributions to chemistry, was never awarded the Nobel prize. http://chemconnections.org/organic/Movies%20Org%20Flash/LewisDotStructures.swf
Ionic Compounds • Ionic compounds are formed when electron(s) are transferred. • Electrons go from less electronegative element to the more electronegative forming ionic bonds. Worksheet 1: Bonds, Formulas, Structures & Shapes http://chemconnections.org/organic/chem226/226assign-12.html#Worksheets
Covalent Compounds • Share electrons. • 1 pair = 1 bond. • Octet rule (“duet” for hydrogen) • Lewis structures: Notice the charges: In one case they balance, can you name the compound? In the other they do not, can you name the polyatomic ion? More about “formal” charge to come.
Covalent Bonding – Simple Lewis Structures • For simple Lewis structures: • Draw the individual atoms using dots to represent the valence electrons. • Put the atoms together so they share PAIRSof electrons to make complete octets. • Take NH3, for example: • Practice with SKILLBUILDER 1.3.

Formal Charge Formal charge is the charge of an atom in a Lewis structure which has a different than normal distribution of electrons. Klein: 2.4, 2.9
O two bonds three bonds N four bonds C Important Bond Numbers (Neutral Atoms / Normal electron distribution) one bond H F Cl Br I
Important Bond Numbers (Neutral Atoms / Normal electron distribution)
Formal Charge Formal charge = number of valence electrons – (number of lone pair electrons +1/2 number of bonding electrons) • Equals the number of valence electrons (Group Number of the free atom) minus [the number of unshared valence electrons in the molecule + 1/2 the number of shared valence electrons in the molecule]. • Moving/Adding/Subtracting atoms and electrons.
Complete the following table. It summarizes the formal charge on a (“central”) atom for the most important species in organic chemistry.

Resonance Klein: 2.7 – 2.12
Resonance Resonance is a very important intellectual concept that was introduced by Linus Pauling in 1928 to explain experimental observations. Eg. SO2 Bond order 1.5 Bond length > double bond; Bond length< single bond TUTORIAL http://www.nku.edu/~russellk/tutorial/reson/resonance.html
Resonance • Two or more Lewis structures may be legitimately written for certain compounds (or ions) that have double bonds and/or free pairs of non-bonded electrons • It is a mental exercise in “pushing” or moving electrons.
Rules of Resonance • Step 1: The atoms must stay in the same position. Atom connectivity is the same in all resonance structures. Only electrons move. • NON-Example: The Lewis formulas below are not resonance forms. A hydrogen atom has changed position.
Rules of Resonance • Step 2: Each contributing structure must have the same total number of electrons and the samenetcharge. • Example:All structures have 18 electrons and a net charge of 0.
Rules of Resonance • Step 3: Calculate formal charges for each atom in each structure. • Example:None of the atoms possess a formal charge in this Lewis structure.
Rules of Resonance • Step 4: Calculate formal charges for the second and third structures. • Example:These structures have formal charges. NOTE: They are less favorable Lewis structures.
H H .. .. .. + – : : H C O N O H C O N O .. .. .. .. .. H H “Pushing” Electrons • same atomic positions • differ in electron positions more stable Lewis structure less stable Lewis structure
H H .. .. .. + – : : H C O N O H C O N O .. .. .. .. .. H H “Pushing” Electrons • same atomic positions • differ in electron positions only more stable Lewis structure less stable Lewis structure
Why use Resonance Structures? • Delocalization of electrons and charges between two or more atoms helps explain energetic stability and chemical reactivity. • Electrons in a single Lewis structure are insufficient to show electron delocalization. • A composite of all resonance forms more accurately depicts electron distribution. (HYBRID) NOTE: Resonance forms are not always evenly weighted. Some forms are better than others.

VSEPR Klein: 1.10
VSEPR Model The molecular structure of a given atom is determined principally by minimizing electron pair (bonded &free) repulsions through maximizing separations. Some examples of minimizing interactions.
Predicting a VSEPR Structure • 1. Draw Lewis structure. • 2. Put pairs as far apart as possible. • 3. Determine positions of atoms from the way electron pairs are shared. • 4. Determine the name of molecular structure from positions of the atoms.

CovalentBond PolarityMolecular PolarityDipole Moment Klein: 1.11
Covalent Compounds • Equal sharing of electrons: nonpolar covalent bond, same electronegativity (e.g., H2) • Unequal sharing of electrons between atoms of different electronegativities: polar covalent bond (e.g., HF)
Polar Covalent Bonds • Electrons tend to shift away from lower electronegativity atoms to higher electronegativity atoms. • The greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond. Practice: SKILLBUILDER 1.5
Question 1.8 • Which of the following bonds is the most polar? • A) B) • C) D)
