1 Chapter 6 Molecules and Covalent Compounds
6.3 Multiple Covalent Bonds and Resonance Copyright © by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings

2 Multiple Bonds In a single bond, One pair of electrons is shared.
In a double bond, Two pairs of electrons are shared. In a triple bond, Three pairs of electrons are shared.

3 Electron-Dot Formula of`CS2
Write the electron-dot formula for CS2. STEP 1 Determine the atom arrangement. The C atom is the central atom. S C S STEP 2 Add the valence electrons for 1C and 2S. 1C(4e-) + 2S(6e-) = 16e-

4 Electron-Dot Formula CS2
STEP 3 Attach each S atom to C with one electron pair. S : C : S Calculate the remaining electrons. 16e e- = 12e- left

5 Electron-Dot Formula CS2
STEP 4 Attach 12 remaining electrons as 6 lone pairs to complete octets. : S : C : S : STEP 5 To complete octets, move two lone pairs between C and S atoms to give two double bonds. : S : : C : : S : or : S = C = S : `

6 Multiple Bonds in N2 In nitrogen N2,
Octets are achieved by sharing three pairs of electrons, which is a triple bond.

7 Some Electron-Dot Formulas

8 Resonance Structures Resonance structures are:
Two or more electron-dot formulas for the same arrangement of atoms Related by a double-headed arrow Written by changing location of a double bond from the central atom to a different attached atom Sometimes written as a hybrid resonance structure

12 Writing Resonance Structures
Cyanate ion NCO− has three resonance structures. STEP 1 Write the arrangement of atoms. N C O − STEP 2 Count the valence electrons. 1N(5e−) + 1C(4e−) + 1 O(6e−) + charge (1e−) = 16e− STEP 3 Connect bonded atoms by single electron pairs. N: C :O − 4e− used Determine the remaining electrons. 16e− - 4e− = 12e−

13 Writing Resonance Structures
