Cl .. 109.5o H Nonbonding domains are attracted to only one nucleus; therefore, they are more spread out than are bonding domains. The effect is that nonbonding domains (i.e., “lone pairs”) compress bond angles. Domains for multiple bonds have a similar effect. e.g., CH4 NH3 H2O the ideal bond angle for the tetrahedral EDG is 109.5o COCl2 124.3o 111.4o 124.3o EDG = trig. plan. ideal = 120o

covalent bonding occurs when atoms share electrons Lewis theory says… Valence-Bond Theory: merges Lewis structures w/the idea of atomic orbitals (2s, 3p, etc.) V-B theory says… covalent bonding occurs when valence orbitals of adjacent atoms overlap; then, two e–s of opposite spin (one from each atom) combine to form a bond V-B theory is like Velcro: “No overlap, no bond.”

H2 molecule Energy optimum dist. (min. PE) 0 H–H distance There is always an optimum distance between two bonded nuclei. At this optimum distance, attractive (+/–) and repulsive (+/+ and –/–) forces balance.
