Advanced Theories of Chemical Bonding Atomic Orbitals Molecules Dr. S. M. Condren
Two Theories of Bonding MOLECULAR ORBITAL THEORY — Robert Mullikan (1896-1986) valence electrons are delocalized valence electrons are in orbitals (called molecular orbitals) spread over entire molecule. Dr. S. M. Condren
Two Theories of Bonding VALENCE BOND THEORY — Linus Pauling valence electrons are localized between atoms (or are lone pairs). half-filled atomic orbitals overlap to form bonds. Dr. S. M. Condren
Sigma Bond Formation by Orbital Overlap Two s orbitals overlap Dr. S. M. Condren
Sigma Bond Formation Two s orbitals overlap One s and one p orbital Two p orbitals overlap Dr. S. M. Condren
Using VB Theory Bonding in BF3 planar triangle angle = 120o Dr. S. M. Condren
Bonding in BF3 How to account for 3 bonds 120o apart using a spherical s orbital and p orbitals that are 90o apart? Pauling said to modify VB approach with ORBITAL HYBRIDIZATION — mix available orbitals to form a new set of orbitals — HYBRID ORBITALS — that will give the maximum overlap, in the correct geometry. Dr. S. M. Condren
Bonding in BF3 rearrange electrons hydridize orbs. unused p orbital three sp2 hybrid orbitals 2p 2s Dr. S. M. Condren
Bonding in BF3 The three hybrid orbitals are made from 1 s orbital and 2 p orbitals 3 sp2 hybrids. Now we have 3, half-filled HYBRID orbitals that can be used to form B-F sigma bonds. Dr. S. M. Condren
Bonding in BF3 An orbital from each F overlaps one of the sp2 hybrids to form a B-F bond. Dr. S. M. Condren
BF3, Planar Trigonal Dr. S. M. Condren
Bonding in CH4 How do we account for 4 C—H sigma bonds 109o apart? Need to use 4 atomic orbitals — s, px, py, and pz — to form 4 new hybrid orbitals pointing in the correct direction. Dr. S. M. Condren
