Predicting Shapes of Molecules VSEPR Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory Why not the shape of ionics? Linear (straight line) • Any 2 atom molecule is linear • O2 • H2 • HCl . . . etc. Steps to predicting shapes 1. Draw the dot structure 2. Count the electron domains surrounding the central atom • Single bonds count as one • Double and triple bonds count as one • lone electron pairs (unbonded) count as one 3. Determine the category based on regions of electron domains • • • • • 2 domains - Linear 3 domains – trigonal planar 4 domains - tetrahedral 5 domains – trigonal bipyramidal 6 domains - octahedral http://safeshare.tv/w/BUalxrqbEK FINALLY Name the shape of the molecule based on the arrangement of the ATOMS • Lone pairs are repulsive and force the bonded electrons together and reduce the bond angles AND change the shape Practice… Shape & bond angles? • H2Se – Bent w/ ~1050 angles • CH2Cl2 – Tetrahedral w/ 109.5o angles • PCl3 – Trigonal pyramidal w/ 107o angles Types of Covalent MOLECULES POLAR vs. NON-POLAR non-polar • Have Symmetrical Shapes & symmetrical electron distributions Polar molecules (a.k.a. Dipoles) • Occurs because of a polar bond between 2 atoms δ+ C O δ • Or uneven charge distribution in the molecule δ+ H Cl δ • or asymmetrical distribution of electrons Trigonal pyramidal & Bent polarity Water is asymmetrical δ- O H H δ+ Water is a bent molecule H H O H H W-A-T-E-R as bent as it can be! Water’s polar MOLECULE! Water’s polar MOLECULE! The H is positive The O is not - not - not - not W-A-T-E-R as bent as it can be! Water’s polar MOLECULE! Water’s polar MOLECULE! The H‘s are the ears The O’s the nose - nose - nose - nose W-A-T-E-R as bent as it can be! Making sense of the polar non-polar thing COVALENT BONDS or MOLECULES non-polar are between identical atoms or very small e-neg difference up to ~0.4 All other bonds with e-neg difference up to ~2.0 are polar Polar – asymmetrical UNEVEN electron distribution Non-polar – Even distribution of electrons – symmetrical shape The End
