Naming Molecular Compounds

Because nonmetals often combine with one another in different proportions to form different compounds, numerical prefixes are usually included in the names of binary molecular compounds.

Naming Molecular Compounds

N2O4

The second element listed is more anionlike and takes the name of the element with an “ide” modification to the ending.

The first element listed is more cationlike and takes the name of the element.

The prefix is added to the front of each to indicate the number of each atom.

Electron-Dot Structures

Electron-Dot Structures (Lewis Structures): A representation of an atom’s valence electrons by using dots and indicates by the placement of dots how the valence electrons are distributed in the molecule.

Electron-Dot Structures of Polyatomic Molecules

Step 1: Valence Electrons• Count the total number of valence electrons for

all atoms in the molecule.• Add one additional electron for each negative

charge in an anion or subtract one for each positive charge in a cation.

Electron-Dot Structures of Polyatomic Molecules

Step 2: Connect Atoms• Draw lines to represent bonds between atoms.• For hydrogen and second row atoms, use the

number of bonds listed below.• For third row and greater atoms, they may have

more bonds than predicted by the octet rule.• The least electronegative atom is usually the

central atom.

Electron-Dot Structures of Polyatomic Molecules

Step 4: Assign Electrons to the Central Atom• If unassigned electrons remain after step 3,

place them on the central atom.

Step 3: Assign Electrons to the Terminal Atoms• Subtract the number of electrons used for

bonding in the previous step from the total number determined in step 1.

• Complete each terminal atom’s octet (except for hydrogen).

Electron-Dot Structures of Polyatomic Molecules

Step 5: Multiple Bonds• If no unassigned electrons remain after step 3

but the central atom does not yet have an octet, use one or more lone pairs of electrons from a neighboring atom to form a multiple bond (either a double or a triple).

Molecular Shapes: The VSEPR Model

VSEPR: Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion model

Electrons in bonds and in lone pairs can be thought of as “charge clouds” that repel one another and stay as far apart as possible, this causing molecules to assume specific shapes.

Working from an electron-dot structure, count the number of “charge clouds,” and then determine the molecular shape.

Valence Bond Theory

sigma () bonds

Valence Bond Theory: A quantum mechanical model which shows how electron pairs are shared in a covalent bond.

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. Chapter 5/49

Valence Bond Theory

Valence Bond Theory: A quantum mechanical model which shows how electron pairs are shared in a covalent bond.

• Covalent bonds are formed by overlap of atomic orbitals, each of which contains one electron of opposite spin.

• Each of the bonded atoms maintains its own atomic orbitals, but the electron pair in the overlapping orbitals is shared by both atoms.

• The greater the amount of overlap, the stronger the bond.

Molecular Orbital Theory: Other Diatomic Molecules

Oxygen, O2, is predicted to be diamagnetic by electron-dot structures and valence bond theory.

However, it is known to be paramagnetic.

O2 OO

Diamagnetic: All electrons are spin-paired. It is weekly repelled by magnetic fields.

Paramagnetic: There is at least one unpaired electron. It is weakly attracted by magnetic fields.
