Topic: Molecular Shape Do Now: Draw the Lewis Dot Diagram for N 2 and C 2 H 2
2
BONDING Capacity ELEMENT# of bonds it likes to make Halogen,F, Cl, Br, I1 Hydrogen1 O and S2 N and P3 C4
3
Molecular Shape H O H
4
Use the Lewis Structure Lewis structure is 2-D, but can help figure out 3-D shape
5
Molecular Shape Shape determined by two factors: 1. # of unpaired e - around the central atom 2. total # atoms bonded to central atom
6
It’s important to classify electron pairs as bonding or nonbonding Electron pairs repel each other: want to be as far apart from each other as can be Nonbonding pairs take up a little more room than bonding pairs
7
2-Atom Molecules Atoms located right next to each other linear molecules!
8
3-Atom Molecules linear or bent linear or bentLinear Bent
9
Lewis Structure of H 2 O = H:O:H.... H2OH2O 3 total atoms, free unpaired electrons = BENT
10
CO 2 Lewis structure: O :: C :: O........ 3 total atoms, no free unpaired electrons = Linear
11
4 atom molecules They make triangles… …so we call them trigonal Planar or pyramidal
12
Trigonal Pyramidal = Free electrons around the central atom
13
4-Atom Molecules: Trigonal Planar = no free electrons around the central atom
14
4-Atom Molecules: Planar
15
5-Atom Molecules: H : C : H H H.... Tetrahedral
16
Molecular Polarity Look at structure and shape of molecule - all bent molecules are polar Draw a If top/bottom and left/right are same then NONPOLAR If either of the two are different then POLAR
17
SymmetricalMolecules Nonpolar – they don’t have poles
18
AsymmetricalMolecules Polar – they have poles (different ends)
19
Let’s try a few… Name the SHAPE and POLARITY
20
BENT POLAR
21
Trigonal Planar POLAR
22
Tetrahedral POLAR
23
Trigonal Pyramidal POLAR
24
linear POLAR
25
linear POLAR
26
bent POLAR
27
tetrahedral NONPOLAR
