Molecular Shapes • Molecular shape determines chemical and physical properties • Electrons repel each other resulting in the molecular shape • Lone pairs are not shared between protons and therefore repel slightly more
Hybridization • Atomic orbitals mix to form new identical orbitals
Determine Molecular Geometry and Hybridization • BF3 • NH4+ • OCl2 • BeF2 • CF4 • CS2 • CCl2F2 • NCl3
Bond Polarity • Unequal sharing of electrons due to differences in electronegativity
Molecular Polarity • Molecules that are symmetrical tend to be nonpolar covalent molecules • Molecular Dipole-the overall direction of pull on the molecule
PHET Simulation • Draw the following molecules and label the dipole of the molecule
Properties of Covalent Compounds • Low melting and boiling points
Properties of Covalent Compounds • Many molecules exist as gases • Soft solids • Paraffin
Properties of Covalent Compounds • Poor Conductors of Electricity
