Questions for today: What makes a molecule polar? What is a covalent bond? How can we understand molecular shapes in terms of orbitals?
Polarity of Molecules A NONPOLAR molecule A POLAR molecule
Orbital overlap and bonding
Hybrid orbitals SN=4 tetrahedral (Example: CH4)
sp2 hybrid orbitals SN=3 trigonal planar (Example: BCl3)
Hybrid orbitals for linear geometry SN=2 linear (Example: BeCl2)
dsp3 hybrid orbitals SN=5 trigonal bipyramidal (Example: PCl5)
Hybrid orbitals and bonding for other SNs SN=6 octahedral (Example: SF6)
Hybridization summary
Sigma () and Pi () Bonds Sigma bonds are characterized by head-to-head overlap. cylindrical symmetry of electron density about the internuclear axis. Pi bonds are characterized by side-to-side overlap. electron density above and below the internuclear axis.
