2. MOLECULAR SHAPES Dustin Rohrbach and Deven Messner

3. WHAT ARE MOLECULAR SHAPES?  3 dimensional structures that represent different compounds  Each compound has a steric number and may have lone pairs

4. This chart will match all of the shapes to the steric number and lone pairs. Refer back to this chart throughout the tutorial for help.

5. STERIC NUMBER  The steric number is the number of bonds in a compound In this example of BeCl 2, the steric number is 2 Because of the two bonds on each side of the Be. Cl Be Cl Notice: Steric # -2 Lone pair -0 Linear Refer to chart on slide 3

6. LONE PAIRS  Lone pairs are any extra pairs of electrons left over that don’t fit into any bonds In this example of SF 4, There is one pair of elections That does not fit into any bonds and that is left over. F F S F F Notice: Steric # - 4 Lone pair – 1 Trigonal pyramidal Refer to chart on slide 3

7. #1 What would be the steric number and lone pairs in CCl 4 ? A. S# - 3 LP – 0 S# - 3 LP – 0 B. S# - 4 LP – 0 S# - 4 LP – 0 C. S# - 4 LP – 1 S# - 4 LP – 1 D. S# - 4 LP - 2 S# - 4 LP - 2

21. Good job, You’re correct! Next Question

22. Good job on completing the tutorial. Remember to pay close attention to the steric number and lone pairs! That determines what the molecular shape will be.
