  • Many covalent cmpds when dissolved in water retain their structure and molecular identity
64
"Learn the names,"
  • Learn the names, formulas, charges, etc for those ions highlighted in table 4.3.
  • HCO3-: you should learn as bicarbonate


65
Writing Lewis structures for covalent species
  • These rules are for covalently bonded cmpds only (btn 2 or more nonmetals)
  • Do not use them for ionic cmpds.
  • 1. Count the total no. of valence electrons (the group no. is equal to the no. of valence electrons).
  • if the species is an anion, increase the no. of valence electrons by the charge on the ion
66
"if the species is a..."
  • if the species is a cation, subtract the charge of the cation from the total no. of valence electrons.
  • 2.Count the total no. of atoms, excluding H, in the molecule or ion. Multiply that no. by 8.
  • Exception: multiply the no. of H’s by 2.
  • This tells you how many electrons you would need if you were putting 8 electrons around all atoms without any sharing of electrons (and 2 around all H’s).
67
"3."
  • 3. Subtract the no. of e-’s calculated in step 1 from the no. in step 2. This gives you the no. of e-’s that must be shared to get an octet around all atoms in the molecule.
  • 4. no. of e-’s that must be shared /2 gives you the no. of bonds.
  • 5. subtract the no. of e-’s that are shared (from step 3) from the total no. of valence  e-’s. This gives you the no. of unshared e-’s.
  • If you divide the no. of unshared e-’s by 2 you get the no. of lone pairs.
68
"Write the skeletal structure and..."
  • Write the skeletal structure and fill in with the info you came up with. After you’ve put in the # bonds calculated, fill in the octets.
  • H (and F) form only one bond. Therefore they can only be terminal atoms in a structure.
  • So you can not have
  •          C---H---C
  • It has to be   H---C--C


69

74
 
75
"Each resonance structure contributes to..."
  • Each resonance structure contributes to the actual structure
    • no single structure is a complete description
    • positions of atoms must be the same in each, only electrons are moved around

77
Exceptions to Octet Rule
  • There are three classes of exceptions to the octet rule.

3D structure of species
  • Electrostatic forces in ionic bonds is _____________. But species with covalent bonds have electron pairs concentrated btn 2 atoms and is                         ..
  • We use VESPR theory to predict the shape of the covalently bound species.


80
VSEPR theory
81
VSEPR
  • Most stable geometry is one in which electron pairs (electron clouds) are as
82
Shapes of molecules (3D)
  • The geometry is determined by the atoms present in the species. See atoms that are bonded to other atoms. Don’t “see” lone pairs but they influence geometry
  • I.  Diatomics (2 atoms only): always ________
  • H2, HCl, CO     X----X



83
"II."
  • II. Polyatomic (3 or more atoms) species: Use VSEPR model to predict shapes
84
Steps  in applying VSEPR
  • 1. Do Lewis structure
  • 2. Count total e- pairs (clouds) around central atom (A). Multiple bonds count as one electron pair (cloud). In reality multiple bonds are bigger than single bonds (electron clouds larger).


85
"3."
  • 3. Separate e- pairs into bonded pairs (B) and lone pairs (E)
  • 4. Apply table that I give you.
  • 5. Remember that lone pairs of e-’s are invisible, but their presence affects the final molecular geometry!!!!!
  • Lone e- pair-lone e-pairs are more repulsive than bonded pair-lone pair repulsions or bonded pair-bonded pair repulsions.
86
VSEPR: valence shell electron pair      repulsion
  • 2 electron clouds around a central atom (A)

93
Polar vs nonpolar cmpds
  • A molecule is polar if its centers of positive and negative charges do not coincide. If a molecule is polar we say that it acts as a dipole. In an electric field nonpolar molecules (positive and negative centers coincide)  do not align with the field but polar molecules do.
  • Next we will see why this happens and the implications.


94
 
95
Polar molecules
  • I. Diatomics, A-B
  •    a.If  A = B have homonuclear diatomic; has


  • b. A ≠ B have heteronuclear diatomic


96
"II."

  • Let’s look at VSEPR cases considered.
  • General rule (my rule):


97

  • H2S
  • SO2
  • CO2
  • CF4
  • AlCl3
  • CHCl3
  • SCl2
98
Properties based on electronic structure and molecular geometry
  • Intramolecular forces: within a molecule--bonds


  • Intermolecular forces: between molecules--these determine important properties as melting and boiling points and solubility


99
Solubility
  • Like dissolves like:
  •  Polar cmpds dissolve in polar solvents as ionic and polar cmpds (HCl) in water


  • Nonpolar cmpds dissolve in nonpolar solvents: oils in CCl4


100
Melting and boiling points
  • Stronger the intermolecular forces the higher the melting and boiling points


  • In general for cmpds of similar weight: polar moleculaes have stonger forces than nonpolar cmpds
  • In general for similar structure the greater the mass the stronger the forces
101
Which have higher melting (boiling pts)
  • CO and NO
  • F2 and Br2
  • CH3CH2OH  and CH3CH3
