Lecture 13 Valence Bond Theory 3.4 – 3.7 17-September Assigned HW 3.34, 3.36, 3.40, 3.42 Due: Monday 20-Sept
Review 2.13-2.15 D4-D5 • We can predict the shape of molecules using 4 rules of VSEPR • Separate electron density as much as possible – this includes lone pairs and bonds • We don’t care about bond order – single bonds are the same as triple bonds when we assign shape • When picking a shape, only bonds matter. Lone pairs are important for determining orbital layout • LP-LP > LP-atom > atom-atom • Stepwise: • Lewis Structure • VSEPR Formula • Predict orbital shape (electron arrangement) Linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonalbipyramidal, octahedral, pentagonal bipyramidal • Consider LP influence • VSEPR formula AXnEm
Forming a Bond What are covalent bonds? E How do we describe the electron in an atom? 2s 1s + Orbital Overlap
Forming a Bond – sigma bonds What are covalent bonds? E + E E 1s 1s
Forming a Bond – sigma bonds E 1s E E 1s Molecular Orbital
Forming a Bond – sigma bonds What about H-Cl E Why don’t I include 1s electrons for Cl? E E 2p 2s + 1s Why don’t we include the other 2s and 2p electrons?
Forming a Bond – sigma bonds What about H-Cl Note that only ONE of the 2p orbitals from Cl is involved in the sigma bond. What are the others doing?
Forming a Bond – pi bonds N2 E E E 2p 2p 2s 2s Where are the lone pairs? Can we form 3 sigma bonds?
Forming a Bond – Atomic Hybridization CH4 E Carbon 2p E E 2s 2p 2s So we’ll have one sigma bond that is more stable? How do we get the four bonds from this? Form a HYBRID orbital
Forming a Bond – Atomic Hybridization Remember that orbitals are from wavefunctions….and describe electrons – which are waves And waves can interfere constructively or destructively 4 possible combinations of wave interference for 4 different waves – these are our 4 hybrid orbitals. E
Forming a Bond – Atomic Hybridization 109.5° We needed one s and 3 p orbitals to make this hybrid
Atomic Hybridization Ammonia E sp3 3 individual Hydrogen 1s orbitals
Atomic Hybridization Ethane So we have a sigma bond between the carbon sp3 hybrid and the 1s orbital of hydrogen
Atomic Hybridization Ethene Shape? sp2
