1 Shapes of Molecules

2 Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR) Electrons can be placed in two categories Bonding pairs [involved in a bond] Lone pairs [not involved in a bond]

3 HH H Lone Pair Bonding Pairs N NH 3 Ammonia N has Atomic Number 7 Electron pattern 2,5

4 Bonding pairs Involved in a bond usually one e - from each atom in the bond Dative bond is a special type of covalent bond where one atom supplies both the electrons. This is unusual. The electrons in bonding pairs have opposite spins this is why they can come together. Single, double and triple bonds are all regarded as just one bonding pair

5 Bonding Pairs 4 bonding pairs All repel equally Move as far apart as possible Note they are NOT on the equator but one at the pole and three below the equator HH H C H Bond Angle HCH =109.5 0 Methane CH 4 Tetrahedral

6 Lone Pairs These are pairs of electrons not involved in a bond. Lone pairs have a greater power of repulsion than bonding pairs. They push other electron pairs further away from themselves than bonding pairs do.
