Chapter 3Simple Bonding Theory • Lewis Dot Structures • Resonance • Formal Charge • VSEPR: the subtle effects
Lewis Dot Structures 1. Count valence electrons 2. Arrange atoms 3. Add bonds 4. Add lone pairs 5. Convert lone pairs to bonding pairs (octet rule and exceptions)
Lewis Dot Structures • Examples:CO2SO3N2OXeF4ClF3PCl6–
More complex NO2 NO
Formal Charge = Group # - #unshared electrons on atom - # bonds to atom Example: O3
Resonance Example: SO3
Resonance and Formal Charge Example: SCN-
Resonance and Formal Charge Example: SCN-
Octet Rule vs. Pi Bonding Trends BeF2 and BF3
Octet Rule vs. Formal Charge • Always follow octet ruleExceptions? SO42-
VSEPR • Maximize “personal space” • CO2, SO3, SO42–, PCl5, SF6 • Lone pairs vs. bonding pairs? • Single bonds vs. multiple bonds? • Electronegativity effects
Pi Bonds vs. Lone Pairs Which take up more room: lone pairs or a pi bond?
Electronegativity Effects Molecule X-P-X Angle o PF3 97.8 PCl3 100.3 PBr3 101 Explain this trend.
Electronegativity Effects Molecule X-P-X Angle o PF3 97.8 PCl3 100.3 PBr3 101 Terminal Atom Effects: F: Electron density of the bond pairs is mostly near the F. Electron density near the central atom is less, which decreases bond pair – bond pair repulsion near the P.
Electronegativity Effects Molecule H-X-H Angle o H2O 104.4 H2S 92.1 H2Se 90.6 Explain this trend.
Electronegativity Effects Molecule H-X-H Angle o H2O 104.4 H2S 92.1 H2Se 90.6 Explain this trend. Central atom effects: O: as O pulls more electron density toward it, bonds have more electron density near the central atom. This causes greater bond pair – bond pair repulsions.
Electronegativity Effects Molecule X-As-X Angle o AsF3 AsCl3 AsBr3 Predict this trend.
