Shapes of moleculesShapes of moleculesand polyatomic ionsand polyatomic ions
Molecules and polyatomic ions are not all ‘flat’ structures.
Many have a three dimensional arrangement that helps account for their various chemical and physical properties.
Several models are used to help predict and describe the geometries for these species.
One model is called the Valence Shell Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion model (VSEPR)Electron Pair Repulsion model (VSEPR)

VSEPR modelVSEPR model
According to this model, for main group elements, electron pairs will be as far apart from each other as possible.
This occurs in three dimensional space.
Both bonded and unshared pairs will occupy space with unshared pairs taking up more space.
The geometry is based on the total number of electron pairs - total coordination number.

Molecular geometryMolecular geometry
Molecules have specific shapes.Molecules have specific shapes.
•Determined by the number of electron pairs around the central species
•Bonded and unshared pairs count.
•Multiple bonds are treated as a single bond for geometry.
Geometry affects factors like polarity and solubility.

Polar and nonpolar moleculesPolar and nonpolar molecules
Polarity is an important property of molecules.
• It affects physical properties such as melting point, boiling point and solubility.
• Chemical properties also depend on polarity.
• Dipole momentDipole moment, , is a quantitative measure of the polarity of a molecule.

Dipole momentDipole moment
This property can be measured by placing moleculesin an electrical field. Polar molecules will align whenThe field is on. Nonpolar molecules will not.

Polar and nonpolar moleculesPolar and nonpolar molecules
Most bonds between atoms of dissimilar elements in a molecule are polar. That does not mean that the molecule will be polar.
The electronegativity valuesShow that the C-O bond would be polar with electronsBeing pulled towards the oxygens. However, due toThe geometry, the pull happens in equal and oppositedirections.
10 - 24
Polar and nonpolar moleculesPolar and nonpolar molecules
For a molecule to be polar, the effects of bond polaritymust not cancel out.
One way is to have a geometry that is not symmetrical like in water.
Electronegativitydifference = 1.3
Here, the effects of the polar bonds do not canceled so the molecule is polar.

Polar and nonpolar moleculesPolar and nonpolar molecules
A molecule is nonpolar if the central atom is symmetrically substituted by identical atoms.
COCO22, CH, CH4 4 , CCl, CCl44
A molecule will be polar if the geometry is not symmetrical.
HH22O, NHO, NH33, CH, CH22ClCl22
The degree of polarity is a function of the number and type of polar bonds as well as the geometry.

Bonding theoryBonding theory
Two methods of approximation are used to describe bonding between atoms.
Valence bond methodValence bond methodBonds are assumed to be formed by overlap of atomic orbitals
Molecular orbital methodMolecular orbital methodWhen atoms form compounds, their orbitals combine to form new orbitals - molecular orbitalsmolecular orbitals.

Valence bond methodValence bond method
According to this model, the H-H bond forms as a result of the overlap of the 1s orbitals from each atom.

Hybrid orbitals are need to account for the geometry that we observe for many molecules.
Example - CarbonExample - CarbonOuter electron configuration of 2Outer electron configuration of 2ss22 2p2pxx

We know that carbon will form2 four equivalent bonds - CH4, CH2Cl2 , CCl4.
The electron configuration appears to indicate that only two bonds would form and they would be at right angles -- not tetrahedral angles.

d orbitals can also be involved in the formation of hybrid orbitals.
When atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals, the number of molecular orbitals formed must equal the number of atomic orbitals mathematically combined.
Example - HExample - H22
Two 1s orbitals will combine forming two molecular orbitals. The overall energy of the new orbitals is the same as the original two 1s. However, they will be at different energies.
