Teacher Notes – Why VSEPR?
3
A. VSEPR Theory Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
Electron pairs orient themselves in order to minimize repulsive forces
4
Lone pairs repel more strongly than bonding pairs!!!
A. VSEPR Theory Types of e- Pairs Bonding pairs – form bonds Lone pairs – nonbonding e- Total e- pairs– bonding + lone pairs Lone pairs repel more strongly than bonding pairs!!!
5
A. VSEPR Theory Lone pairs reduce the bond angle between atoms
6
B. Determining Molecular Shape
Draw the Lewis Diagram Tally up e- pairs on central atom (bonds + lone pairs) double/triple bonds = ONE pair Shape is determined by the # of bonding pairs and lone pairs Know the 13 common shapes & their bond angles!

E. Hybridization Provides information about molecular bonding and molecular shape Several atomic orbitals mix to form same total of equivalent hybrid orbitals
23
E. Hybridization Carbon is common example (orbital diagram)
One of 2s electrons is promoted to 2p 4 identical orbitals form sp3 hybridization
24
Remember the superscript is the orbital, not e- configuration!
E. Hybridization Other types of hybridization BeH2 forms AlCl3 forms SiF4 forms KrF4 forms SF4 forms sp sp2 sp3 d2sp3 or sp3d2 dsp3 or sp3d exceptions Remember the superscript is the orbital, not e- configuration!
