2
POINT > Explain VSEPR Theory
POINT > Use VSEPR and Lewis structures to predict molecular geometry POINT > Identify common molecular shapes POINT > Describe 4 types of intermolecular forces
3
POINT > Explain VSEPR Theory
Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion theory Electron pairs in the valence shell want to be as far apart from each other as possible Molecular shapes adjust so that the valence-electron pairs stay as far apart as possible In VSEPR, we treat double or triple bonds as one set of electrons
4
POINT > Explain VSEPR Theory
Example: Methane. What geometric shape will put the e- pairs as far apart as possible? C H
5
POINT > Explain VSEPR Theory
Tetrahedral bond angle =109.5◦
6
WB CHECK: Draw the Lewis structure for methane. How many bonds in a methane molecule? How many unshared electron pairs? What is the bond angle in a tetrahedron?
7
POINT > Explain VSEPR Theory
Unshared pairs must be accounted for when predicting geometric shapes Unshared pairs “repel harder” than bonding pairs Ex. ammonia (NH3)
8
POINT > Use VSEPR and Lewis structures to predict molecular geometry
H .. Ex. ammonia (NH3) Lewis structure: **The geometry is determined by the position of the atoms
9
POINT > Use VSEPR and Lewis structures to predict molecular geometry
H .. The e- pairs would be arranged in a tetrahedron The atoms are arranged as a pyramid The unshared pair of e- are close to the N and repel the bonding pairs into a narrower angle
10
The geometry is pyramidal, the bond angles are 107 ◦
POINT > Use VSEPR and Lewis structures to predict molecular geometry The geometry is pyramidal, the bond angles are 107 ◦
11
WB CHECK: How many bonds in a molecule of ammonia? How many unshared electron pairs? What is the bond angle in a pyramidal molecule?
12
.. .. O H How about water? Lewis structure:
POINT > Use VSEPR and Lewis structures to predict molecular geometry How about water? Lewis structure: O H
13
.. .. O H Again, the e- pairs would be spaced in a tetrahedron
POINT > Use VSEPR and Lewis structures to predict molecular geometry Again, the e- pairs would be spaced in a tetrahedron The atoms are in a geometry called bent The 2 pair of unshared e- force the angle narrower, 105◦ O H
14
POINT > Use VSEPR and Lewis structures to predict molecular geometry
15
WB CHECK: How many bonds in a molecule of water? How many unshared electron pairs? What is the bond angle in a bent geometry (like water)?
16
POINT > Identify common molecular shapes
17
