1 Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model:
Predict the geometry of the molecule from the electrostatic repulsions between the electron (bonding and nonbonding) pairs. The idea here is that the bonding and nonbonding pairs around a given atom will be positioned as far apart as possible. This chart is NOT provided on the AP exam!

11 CH4 NH3 H2O Number of lone pairs 1 2 Bond angle 109.5o 107o 104.5o In these molecules, the arrangement of the electron pairs predict tetrahedral geometry. Why is the geometry different from predicted? Lone pairs require more room than bonding pairs and tend to compress the angles between the bonding pairs.

21 Predicting Molecular Geometry
Draw Lewis structure for molecule. Count number of lone pairs on the central atom and number of atoms bonded to the central atom. Use VSEPR to predict the geometry of the molecule. What are the molecular geometries of SO2 and SF4? (In SF4, S uses an expanded octet of 10.) S F AB4E S O S O See-Saw (distorted Tetrahedron) AB2E bent

22 Dipole Moments and Polar Molecules
H F electron rich region electron poor region d+ d- A molecule such as HF that has a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge is said to have a dipole moment. The dipole moment is often represented by an arrow pointing to the negative charge center with the tail of the arrow indicating the positive center of charge.

23 Which of the following molecules have a dipole moment?
H2O, CO2, SO2, and CH4 O H S O dipole moment polar molecule dipole moment polar molecule C H C O no dipole moment nonpolar molecule no dipole moment nonpolar molecule
