Predicting Molecular Geometry1. Draw Lewis structure for molecule.

2. Count number of lone pairs on the central atom and number of atoms bonded to the central atom.

3. Use VSEPR to predict the geometry of the molecule.

Hybridization – mixing of two or more atomic orbitals to form a new set of hybrid orbitals.

1. Mix at least 2 nonequivalent atomic orbitals (e.g. s and p). Hybrid orbitals have very different shape from original atomic orbitals.

2. Number of hybrid orbitals is equal to number of pure atomic orbitals used in the hybridization process.

3. Covalent bonds are formed by:

a. Overlap of hybrid orbitals with atomic orbitals

b. Overlap of hybrid orbitals with other hybrid orbitals

Energy levels of bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals in hydrogen (H2)

A bonding molecular orbital has lower energy and greater stability than the atomic orbitals from which it was formed.

An antibonding molecular orbital has higher energy and lower stability than the atomic orbitals from which it was formed.

Second-Period Homonuclear Diatomic Molecules

55

1. The number of molecular orbitals (MOs) formed is always equal to the number of atomic orbitals combined.

2. The more stable the bonding MO, the less stable the corresponding antibonding MO.

3. The filling of MOs proceeds from low to high energies.

4. Each MO can accommodate up to two electrons.

5. Use Hund’s rule when adding electrons to MOs of the same energy.

6. The number of electrons in the MOs is equal to the sum of all the electrons on the bonding atoms.
