1. Section 9.3

2. List the basic steps used to draw Lewis structures.
Explain why resonance occurs, and identify resonance structures.
Identify three exceptions to the octet rule, and name molecules in which these exceptions occur.

3. ionic bond: the electrostatic force that holds oppositely charged particles together in an ionic compound

4. Resonance

5. structural formula
resonance
coordinate covalent bond

6. Section 9-3
Section 9.3 Molecular Structures (cont.)
Structural formulas show the relative positions of atoms within a molecule.

7. A structural formula uses letter symbols and bonds to show relative positions of atoms.

8. Drawing Lewis Structures
Predict the location of certain atoms.
Determine the number of electrons available for bonding.
Determine the number of bonding pairs.
Place the bonding pairs.
Determine the number of bonding pairs remaining.
Determine whether the central atom satisfies the octet rule.

9. Atoms within a polyatomic ion are covalently bonded.

10. Resonance is a condition that occurs when more than one valid Lewis structure can be written for a molecule or ion.
This figure shows three correct ways to draw the structure for (NO3)-1.

11. Two or more correct Lewis structures that represent a single ion or molecule are resonance structures.
The molecule behaves as though it has only one structure.
The bond lengths are identical to each other and intermediate between single and double covalent bonds.

12. Some molecules do not obey the octet rule.
A small group of molecules might have an odd number of valence electrons.
NO2 has five valence electrons from nitrogen and 12 from oxygen and cannot form an exact number of electron pairs.

13. A few compounds form stable configurations with less than 8 electrons around the atom—a suboctet.
A coordinate covalent bond forms when one atom donates both of the electrons to be shared with an atom or ion that needs two electrons.

14. A third group of compounds has central atoms with more than eight valence electrons, called an expanded octet.
Elements in period 3 or higher have a d-orbital and can form more than four covalent bonds.

29. [ ] Resonance structures

For example, the bond lengths of CHO2– predicted by the Lewis structure are incorrect H C O – [ ]
The double CO bond should be shorter, and possess a greater bond energy (due to the higher concentration of e–s in a double bond)
Yet, experimentally, both bonds are the same
The reason is due to “resonance”
