Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding II

Taste The taste of a food depends on the interaction between the food molecules and taste cells on your tongue The main factors that affect this interaction are the shape of the molecule and charge distribution within the molecule The food molecule must fit snugly into the active site of specialized proteins on the surface of taste cells When this happens, changes in the protein structure cause a nerve signal to transmit

Sugar & Artificial Sweeteners Sugar molecules fit into the active site of taste cell receptors called Tlr3 receptor proteins When the sugar molecule (the key) enters the active site (the lock), the different subunits of the T1r3 protein split apart This split causes ion channels in the cell membrane to open, resulting in nerve signal transmission Artificial sweeteners also fit into the Tlr3 receptor, sometimes binding to it even stronger than sugar making them sweeter than sugar

Structure Determines Properties! Properties of molecular substances depend on the structure of the molecule The structure includes many factors, such as: the skeletal arrangement of the atoms the kind of bonding between the atoms ionic, polar covalent, or covalent the shape of the molecule Bonding theory should allow you to predict the shapes of molecules

Molecular Geometry Molecules are 3-dimensional objects We often describe the shape of a molecule with terms that relate to geometric figures These geometric figures have characteristic corners that indicate the positions of the surrounding atoms around a central atom in the center of the geometric figure The geometric figures also have characteristic angles that we call bond angles

Lewis Theory Predicts Electron Groups Lewis theory predicts there are regions of electrons in an atom Some regions result from placing shared pairs of valence electrons between bonding nuclei Other regions result from placing unshared valence electrons on a single nuclei

Using Lewis Theory to Predict Molecular Shapes Lewis theory says that these regions of electron groups should repel each other because they are regions of negative charge This idea can then be extended to predict the shapes of molecules the position of atoms surrounding a central atom will be determined by where the bonding electron groups are the positions of the electron groups will be determined by trying to minimize repulsions between them

VSEPR Theory Electron groups around the central atom will be most stable when they are as far apart as possible we call this valence shell electron pair repulsion theory because electrons are negatively charged, they should be most stable when they are separated as much as possible The resulting geometric arrangement will allow us to predict the shapes and bond angles in the molecule

Electron Groups The Lewis structure predicts the number of valence electron pairs around the central atom(s) Each lone pair of electrons constitutes one electron group on a central atom Each bond constitutes one electron group on a central atom regardless of whether it is single, double, or triple ONO there are three electron groups on N three lone pair one single bond one double bond

Electron Group Geometry There are five basic arrangements of electron groups around a central atom based on a maximum of six bonding electron groups though there may be more than six on very large atoms, it is very rare Each of these five basic arrangements results in five different basic electron geometries in order for the molecular shape and bond angles to be a perfect geometric figure, all the electron groups must be bonds and all the bonds must be equivalent For molecules that exhibit resonance, it doesnt matter which resonance form you use the electron geometry will be the same Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e

Linear When there are two electron groups around the central atom, they will occupy positions on opposite sides of the central atom This results in the electron groups taking a linear geometry The bond angle is 180

Trigonal Planar When there are three electron groups around the central atom, they will occupy positions in the shape of a triangle around the central atom This results in the electron groups taking a trigonal planar geometry The bond angle is 120

Tetrahedral When there are four electron groups around the central atom, they will occupy positions in the shape of a tetrahedron around the central atom This results in the electron groups taking a tetrahedral geometry The bond angle is 109.5

Trigonal Bipyramidal 5 electron groups around a central atom occupy positions in the shape of two tetrahedra base-to-base with the central atom in the center of the shared bases The positions above and below the central atom are called the axial positions The positions in the same base plane as the central atom are called the equatorial positions The bond angle between equatorial positions is 120 The bond angle between axial and equatorial positions is 90

Octahedral When there are six electron groups around the central atom, they will occupy positions in the shape of two square-base pyramids that are base-to-base with the central atom in the center of the shared bases This results in the electron groups taking an octahedral geometry it is called octahedral because the geometric figure has eight sides All positions are equivalent The bond angle is 90

Molecular Geometry The actual geometry of the molecule may be different from the electron geometry When the electron groups are attached to atoms of different size, or when the bonding to one atom is different than the bonding to another, this will affect the molecular geometry around the central atom Lone pairs also affect the molecular geometry they occupy space on the central atom, but are not seen as points on the molecular geometry

Not Quite Perfect Geometry Because the bonds and atom sizes are not identical in formaldehyde, the observed angles are slightly different from ideal

The Effect of Lone Pairs Lone pair groups occupy more space on the central atom because their electron density is exclusively on the central atom rather than shared like bonding electron groups Relative sizes of repulsive force interactions is Lone Pair Lone Pair > Lone Pair Bonding Pair > Bonding Pair Bonding Pair This affects the bond angles, making the bonding pair bonding pair angles smaller than expected

Effect of Lone Pairs The bonding electrons are shared by two atoms, so some of the negative charge is removed from the central atom The nonbonding electrons are localized on the central atom, so area of negative charge takes more space

Bond Angle Distortion from Lone Pairs

Bent Molecular Geometry: Derivative of Trigonal Planar Electron Geometry When there are three electron groups around the central atom, and one of them is a lone pair, the resulting shape of the molecule is called a trigonal planar bent shape The bond angle is less than 120 because the lone pair takes up more space

Pyramidal Geometry: A Derivative of Tetrahedral Electron Geometry When there are four electron groups around the central atom, and one is a lone pair, the result is called a pyramidal shape because it is a triangular-base pyramid with the central atom at the apex Bond angle is less than 109.5

Bent Tetrahedral Molecular Geometry: A Derivative of Tetrahedral Electron Geometry When there are four electron groups around the central atom, and two are lone pairs, the result is called a tetrahedral bent shape it is planar it looks similar to the trigonal planarbent shape, except the angles are smaller the bond angle is less than 109.5 Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e

Derivatives of the Trigonal Bipyramidal Electron Geometry When there are five electron groups around the central atom, and some are lone pairs, they will occupy the equatorial positions because there is more room Seesaw Shape - five electron groups around the central atom, and one is a lone pair ( aka distorted tetrahedron) T-shaped 5 electron groups around the central atom, and two are lone pairs Linear shape 5 electron groups around the central atom, and three are lone pairs The bond angles between equatorial positions are less than 120 The bond angles between axial and equatorial positions are less than 90 linear = 180 axialtoaxial

Polarity of Molecules For a molecule to be polar it must 1.have polar bonds electronegativity difference - theory bond dipole moments - measured 2.have an unsymmetrical shape vector addition Polarity affects the intermolecular forces of attraction therefore boiling points and solubilities like dissolves like Nonbonding pairs affect molecular polarity, strong pull in its direction

Molecule Polarity The HCl bond is polar. The bonding electrons are pulled toward the Cl end of the molecule. The net result is a polar molecule.

Vector Addition

Molecule Polarity The OC bond is polar. The bonding electrons are pulled equally toward both O ends of the molecule. The net result is a nonpolar molecule.

Molecule Polarity The HO bond is polar. Both sets of bonding electrons are pulled toward the O end of the molecule. The net result is a polar molecule.

Predicting Polarity of Molecules 1.Draw the Lewis structure and determine the molecular geometry 2.Determine whether the bonds in the molecule are polar a)if there are not polar bonds, the molecule is nonpolar 3.Determine whether the polar bonds add together to give a net dipole moment

Example 10.5: Predict whether NH 3 is a polar molecule 1.Draw the Lewis structure and determine the molecular geometry a)eight valence electrons b)three bonding + one lone pair = trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry

Example 10.5: Predict whether NH 3 is a polar molecule 2.Determine if the bonds are polar a)electronegativity difference b)if the bonds are not polar, we can stop here and declare the molecule will be nonpolar EN N = 3.0 EN H = 2.1 3.0 2.1 = 0.9 therefore the bonds are polar covalent

Example 10.5: Predict whether NH 3 is a polar molecule 3)Determine whether the polar bonds add together to give a net dipole moment a)vector addition b)generally, asymmetric shapes result in uncompensated polarities and a net dipole moment The HN bond is polar. All the sets of bonding electrons are pulled toward the N end of the molecule. The net result is a polar molecule.

Molecular Polarity Affects Solubility in Water Polar molecules are attracted to other polar molecules Because water is a polar molecule, other polar molecules dissolve well in water and ionic compounds as well Some molecules have both polar and nonpolar parts

Problems with Lewis Theory Lewis theory generally predicts trends in properties, but does not give good numerical predictions e.g. bond strength and bond length Lewis theory gives good first approximations of the bond angles in molecules, but usually cannot be used to get the actual angle Lewis theory cannot write one correct structure for many molecules where resonance is important Lewis theory often does not predict the correct magnetic behavior of molecules e.g. O 2 is paramagnetic, though the Lewis structure predicts it is diamagnetic

Valence Bond Theory Linus Pauling and others applied the principles of quantum mechanics to molecules They reasoned that bonds between atoms would occur when the orbitals on those atoms interacted to make a bond The kind of interaction depends on whether the orbitals align along the axis between the nuclei, or outside the axis

Orbital Interaction As two atoms approached, the half-filled valence atomic orbitals on each atom would interact to form molecular orbitals molecular orbtials are regions of high probability of finding the shared electrons in the molecule The molecular orbitals would be more stable than the separate atomic orbitals because they would contain paired electrons shared by both atoms the potential energy is lowered when the molecular orbitals contain a total of two paired electrons compared to separate one electron atomic orbitals

Valence Bond Theory Hybridization One of the issues that arises is that the number of partially filled or empty atomic orbitals did not predict the number of bonds or orientation of bonds C = 2s 2 2p x 1 2p y 1 2p z 0 would predict two or three bonds that are 90 apart, rather than four bonds that are 109.5 apart To adjust for these inconsistencies, it was postulated that the valence atomic orbitals could hybridize before bonding took place one hybridization of C is to mix all the 2s and 2p orbitals to get four orbitals that point at the corners of a tetrahedron

Unhybridized C Orbitals Predict the Wrong Bonding & Geometry

Valence Bond Theory Main Concepts 1.The valence electrons of the atoms in a molecule reside in quantum-mechanical atomic orbitals. The orbitals can be the standard s, p, d, and f orbitals, or they may be hybrid combinations of these. 2.A chemical bond results when these atomic orbitals interact and there is a total of two electrons in the new molecular orbital a)the electrons must be spin paired 3.The shape of the molecule is determined by the geometry of the interacting orbitals

Hybridization Some atoms hybridize their orbitals to maximize bonding more bonds = more full orbitals = more stability Hybridizing is mixing different types of orbitals in the valence shell to make a new set of degenerate orbitals sp, sp 2, sp 3, sp 3 d, sp 3 d 2 Same type of atom can have different types of hybridization C = sp, sp 2, sp 3

Hybrid Orbitals The number of standard atomic orbitals combined = the number of hybrid orbitals formed combining a 2s with a 2p gives two 2sp hybrid orbitals H cannot hybridize!! its valence shell only has one orbital The number and type of standard atomic orbitals combined determines the shape of the hybrid orbitals The particular kind of hybridization that occurs is the one that yields the lowest overall energy for the molecule

Bonding with Valence Bond Theory According to valence bond theory, bonding takes place between atoms when their atomic or hybrid orbitals interact overlap To interact, the orbitals must either be aligned along the axis between the atoms, or The orbitals must be parallel to each other and perpendicular to the interatomic axis

Methane Formation with sp 3 C

Ammonia Formation with sp 3 N

Types of Bonds A sigma ( ) bond results when the interacting atomic orbitals point along the axis connecting the two bonding nuclei either standard atomic orbitals or hybrids stos, ptop, hybridtohybrid, stohybrid, etc. A pi ( ) bond results when the bonding atomic orbitals are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the axis connecting the two bonding nuclei between unhybridized parallel p orbitals The interaction between parallel orbitals is not as strong as between orbitals that point at each other; therefore bonds are stronger than bonds

Orbital Diagrams of Bonding Overlap between a hybrid orbital on one atom with a hybrid or nonhybridized orbital on another atom results in a bond Overlap between unhybridized p orbitals on bonded atoms results in a bond

Problems with Valence Bond Theory VB theory predicts many properties better than Lewis theory bonding schemes, bond strengths, bond lengths, bond rigidity However, there are still many properties of molecules it doesnt predict perfectly magnetic behavior of O 2 In addition, VB theory presumes the electrons are localized in orbitals on the atoms in the molecule it doesnt account for delocalization

Molecular Orbital Theory In MO theory, we apply Schrdingers wave equation to the molecule to calculate a set of molecular orbitals in practice, the equation solution is estimated we start with good guesses from our experience as to what the orbital should look like then test and tweak the estimate until the energy of the orbital is minimized In this treatment, the electrons belong to the whole molecule so the orbitals belong to the whole molecule delocalization

LCAO The simplest guess starts with the atomic orbitals of the atoms adding together to make molecular orbitals this is called the Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals method weighted sum Because the orbitals are wave functions, the waves can combine either constructively or destructively

Molecular Orbitals When the wave functions combine constructively, the resulting molecular orbital has less energy than the original atomic orbitals it is called a Bonding Molecular Orbital , most of the electron density between the nuclei When the wave functions combine destructively, the resulting molecular orbital has more energy than the original atomic orbitals it is called an Antibonding Molecular Orbital *, * most of the electron density outside the nuclei nodes between nuclei

Interaction of 1s Orbitals

Molecular Orbital Theory Electrons in bonding MOs are stabilizing lower energy than the atomic orbitals Electrons in antibonding MOs are destabilizing higher in energy than atomic orbitals electron density located outside the internuclear axis electrons in antibonding orbitals cancel stability gained by electrons in bonding orbitals

Energy Comparisons of Atomic Orbitals to Molecular Orbitals

MO and Properties Bond Order = difference between number of electrons in bonding and antibonding orbitals only need to consider valence electrons may be a fraction higher bond order = stronger and shorter bonds if bond order = 0, then bond is unstable compared to individual atoms and no bond will form A substance will be paramagnetic if its MO diagram has unpaired electrons if all electrons paired it is diamagnetic

Heteronuclear Diatomic Molecules & Ions If the combining atomic orbitals are identical and equal energy the contribution of each atomic orbital to the molecular orbital is equal If the combining atomic orbitals are different types and energies the atomic orbital closest in energy to the molecular orbital contributes more to the molecular orbital
