1. Bond and Lone Pairs
Valence electrons are distributed as shared or BOND PAIRS and unshared or LONE PAIRS. • •• H Cl
shared or
bond pair
lone pair (LP)
This is called a LEWIS structure.

2. Note that each atom has a single, unpaired electron.
Bond Formation
A bond can result from an overlap of atomic orbitals on neighboring atoms. Cl H •• • +
Overlap of H (1s) and Cl (2p)
Note that each atom has a single, unpaired electron.

3. Review of Valence Electrons
Remember from the electron chapter that valence electrons are the electrons in the OUTERMOST energy level… that’s why we did all those electron configurations!
B is 1s2 2s2 2p1; so the outer energy level is 2, and there are 2+1 = 3 electrons in level 2. These are the valence electrons!
Br is [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p5 How many valence electrons are present?

4. Steps for Building a Dot Structure
Ammonia, NH3
1. Decide on the central atom; never H. Why?
If there is a choice, the central atom is atom of lowest affinity for electrons. (Most of the time, this is the least electronegative atom…in advanced chemistry we use a thing called formal charge to determine the central atom. But that’s another story!) Therefore, N is central on this one
2. Add up the number of valence electrons that can be used.
H = 1 and N = 5
Total = (3 x 1) + 5
= 8 electrons / 4 pairs

5. Building a Dot Structure
3. Form a single bond between the central atom and each surrounding atom (each bond takes 2 electrons!) H N
4. Remaining electrons form LONE PAIRS to complete the octet as needed (or duet in the case of H). H •• N
3 BOND PAIRS and 1 LONE PAIR.
Note that N has a share in 4 pairs (8 electrons), while H shares 1 pair.

6. Building a Dot Structure
Check to make sure there are 8 electrons around each atom except H. H should only have 2 electrons. This includes SHARED pairs. H •• N
6. Also, check the number of electrons in your drawing with the number of electrons from step 2. If you have more electrons in the drawing than in step 2, you must make double or triple bonds. If you have less electrons in the drawing than in step 2, you made a mistake!

7. Carbon Dioxide, CO2 1. Central atom = 2. Valence electrons =
3. Form bonds.
C 4 e- O 6 e- X 2 O’s = 12 e- Total: 16 valence electrons
This leaves 12 electrons (6 pair).
4. Place lone pairs on outer atoms.
5. Check to see that all atoms have 8 electrons around it except for H, which can have 2.

8. Carbon Dioxide, CO2
C 4 e- O 6 e- X 2 O’s = 12 e- Total: 16 valence electrons
How many are in the drawing?
6. There are too many electrons in our drawing. We must form DOUBLE BONDS between C and O. Instead of sharing only 1 pair, a double bond shares 2 pairs. So one pair is taken away from each atom and replaced with another bond.

9. Double and even triple bonds are commonly observed for C, N, P, O, and S
H2CO
SO3
C2F4

10. Now You Try One! Draw PH3

11. Sigma () and Pi () bond
sigma bond - direct orbital overlap between the two nuclei.
pi bond has orbital overlap off to the sides of the line joining the two nuclei.
Sigma bonds are stronger than pi.

12. A single bond has 1 σ bond
A double bond has 1 σ bond and 1 π bond.
A triple bond has 1 σ bond and 2 π bonds.

13. Lewis structure practice Draw structures for PBr3, N2H2, CH3OH and C2H4

14. Violations of the Octet Rule
Usually occurs with B and elements of higher periods. Common exceptions are: Be, B, P, S, and Xe.
Less than 8= sub-octet
More than 8= super-octet

15. MOLECULAR GEOMETRY

16. VSEPR MOLECULAR GEOMETRY Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory.
Molecule adopts the shape that minimizes the electron pair repulsions.
VSEPR
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory.
Most important factor in determining geometry is relative repulsion between electron pairs.

17. Some Common Geometries
Linear
Tetrahedral
Trigonal Planar

18. VSEPR charts
Use the Lewis structure to determine the geometry of the molecule
Electron arrangement establishes the bond angles
Molecule takes the shape of that portion of the electron arrangement
Charts look at the CENTRAL atom for all data!
Think REGIONS OF ELECTRON DENSITY rather than bonds (for instance, a double bond would only be 1 region)

20. Other VSEPR charts

21. Structure Determination by VSEPR
Water, H2O
The electron pair geometry is TETRAHEDRAL
2 bond pairs
2 lone pairs
The molecular geometry is BENT.

22. Structure Determination by VSEPR
Ammonia, NH3
The electron pair geometry is tetrahedral.
The MOLECULAR GEOMETRY — the positions of the atoms — is TRIGONAL PYRAMID.

23. Structures of PCl5 and SF6
PCl5 – trigonal bi pyramid-only shape with 2 different bond angles
SF6- square bipyramid or octahedral

24. Hybridization
The orbitals mix to give hybrid orbitals of equal energy.
The number of atomic orbitals that mix and form the hybrid orbitals are equal to the total number of electron pairs.

27. Bond Polarity
HCl is POLAR because it has a positive end and a negative end. (difference in electronegativity- Cl more elctronegative)
Cl has a greater share in bonding electrons than does H.
Cl has slight negative charge (-d) and H has slight positive charge (+ d) - polar covalent bond

28. Polar and Non-polar molecules
Bond can be polar but because of symmetry of molecule, polarity cancels out. Ex- CCl4
Bond is polar but molecule is not symmetrical- then molecule stays polar. Ex- H2O
Bonds are not polar due to same electronegativity- molecule is nonpolar. Ex- CH4

32. Like dissolves like Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes-
Example: Salt in water= Na+ Cl-
Non-polar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents
Example: Oil in CCl4

33. When do things dissolve in each other?
- when the solution is MORE stable or has lower energy compared to the separate solute and solvent!
This means that there have to be attractive forces between the solute and solvent.

34. Bond Polarity
This is why oil and water will not mix! Oil is nonpolar, and water is polar.
The two will repel each other, and so you can not dissolve one in the other

35. Bond Polarity “Like Dissolves Like” Polar dissolves Polar
Nonpolar dissolves Nonpolar
