TRANSCRIPT

  • 1. Shapes of and Bond Angles in Simple Molecules

2. Introduction

  • In molecules there are 2 types of electron
  • 1. Bonding Pairs
  • 2. Non-bonding or lone pairs

3.

  • pi - bonds have a very limited impact on shape. sigma-bonds have a much more important effect.

4.

  • Ionic bonds - non-directional
  • Covalent bonds have preferred direction in space
  • All covalent compounds have a particular shape
  • As a result of spatial distribution of orbitals.

5. VSEPR Theory

  • Predict the shapes and bond angles of molecules and molecular ions
  • pairs of electrons that surround the central atom of a molecule or ion are arranged as far apart as possible to minimize electron-electron repulsion.

6. VSEPR Theory

  • The idea can be used to predict the shapes of molecules by following a simple procedure:

7. VSEPR Theory

  • Decide which is the central atom in a molecule.
  • In cases of ambiguity, pick the least electronegative atom as this atom will be better able to share its electrons with the other atoms in the molecule.

8. VSEPR Theory

  • Count up the valence (outer shell) electrons on the central atom.
  • Count up the electrons used by the outer atoms to make bonds with the cental atom.

9. VSEPR Theory

  • The sum of ( 2 ) + ( 3 ) divided by two gives the Valence Shell Electron Pair (VSEP) count.
  • The predicted geometry of the molecule is based on the number of VSEP.
  • i.e. the arrangement of EP around the central atom (both lone pair and bonded pair).

10. VSEPR Theory

  • Electrostatic force of repulsion between electron pair.
  • Repulsion- to attain most comfortable arrangement.
  • Each atom wants an octet of electrons.

11. Types of Repulsion

  • Bonding pair- Bonding pair
  • Lone pair-bond pair
  • Lone pair- lone pair

12. Strength of Repulsion

  • Depends on proximity of electron pairs to central atom
  • Lone pairs closer to central atom- they are delocalized- have no other nucleus to attract them
  • Bond pairs attracted to another nucleus

13. Strength of Repulsion

  • Lone pair- Lone pair repulsion > Lone pair- Bond pair repulsion > Bond pair- Bond pair repulsion

14. Effect of Strength

  • Lone pairs push bond pairs closer
  • Smaller angles result
