Title: Section 8.3 Molecular Structures


1
Section 8.3 Molecular Structures
  • List the basic steps used to draw Lewis
    structures.
  • Explain why resonance occurs, and identify
    resonance structures.
  • Identify three exceptions to the octet rule, and
    name molecules in which these exceptions occur.

ionic bond the electrostatic force that holds
oppositely charged particles together in an ionic
compound

Structural formulas show the relative positions
of atoms within a molecule.

Section 8-1
Why do atoms bond?
  • Atoms gain stability when they share electrons
    and form covalent bonds.
  • Lower energy states make an atom more stable.
  • Gaining or losing electrons makes atoms more
    stable by forming ions with noble-gas electron
    configurations. (octet)
  • Sharing valence electrons with other atoms also
    results in noble-gas electron configurations.

Section 8-1
Why do atoms bond? (cont.)
  • Atoms in non-ionic compounds share electrons.
  • Water is formed when Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms
    share electrons.
  • The chemical bond that results from sharing
    electrons is a covalent bond.
  • A molecule is formed when two or more atoms bond.

5
  • Shared electrons are considered to be part of the
    outer energy level of all the atoms that share
    it.
  • This type of bonding usually occurs between
    elements near each other on the periodic table.
  • Most of this type of bonding is done with
    nonmentals.

6
  • The chemical bond that results from sharing
    electrons is a covalent bond
  • 3 types of Covalent bonds
  • Single Covalent bond sharing 2 electrons
  • Double Covalent bond Sharing 4 eletrons
  • Triple Covalent Bond Sharing 6 electrons
  • Atoms do not share more than 6 electrons between
    them (quadruple bond does not exist)

7
Section 8-1
Why do atoms bond? (cont.)
  • The most stable arrangement of atoms exists at
    the point of maximum net attraction, where the
    atoms bond covalently and form a molecule.
  • F 1s22s2 2p5
  • Shared are covalently bondedloan pairs are
    unbonded.

8
Structural Formulas
  • In a Lewis structure dots or a line are used to
    symbolize a single covalent bond.
  • A structural formula uses letter symbols and
    bonds to show relative positions of atoms.

9
Structural Formulas
  • Electron Dot Diagrams
  • show valence e- as dots
  • distribute dots like arrows in an orbital
    diagram
  • 4 sides 1 s-orbital, 3 p-orbitals
  • EX oxygen

O
10
Drawing Lewis Diagrams
  • Arrange atoms least electronegative atom
    usually in the middle. (never hydrogen)
  • Calculate the total number of valence e-.
  • Place one bonding pair (line) between the central
    atom and the terminal atoms
  • Place the remaining pairs of electrons around the
    terminal atoms and any remaining pairs go on the
    central atom
  • Check to be sure the central atom has four pairs
    of electrons, if not convert a pair of electrons
    from a terminal atom to make a double or triple
    bond

13
Polyatomic Ions
  • To find total of valence e-
  • Add 1e- for each negative charge.
  • Subtract 1e- for each positive charge.
  • Place brackets around the ion and label the
    charge.

16
Resonance Structures
  • Resonance is a condition that occurs when more
    than one valid Lewis structure can be written for
    a molecule or ion.
  • This figure shows three correct ways to draw the
    structure for Nitrate.

17
Resonance Structures (cont.)
  • Two or more correct Lewis structures that
    represent a single ion or molecule are resonance
    structures.
  • The molecule behaves as though it has only one
    structure.
  • The bond lengths are identical to each other and
    intermediate between single and double covalent
    bonds.

18
Resonance Structures
  • SO3

19
Exceptions to the Octet Rule
  • Some molecules do not obey the octet rule.
  • A small group of molecules might have an odd
    number of valence electrons.
  • NO2 has five valence electrons from nitrogen and
    12 from oxygen and cannot form an exact number of
    electron pairs.

20
Section 8-3
Exceptions to the Octet Rule (cont.)
  • A few compounds form stable configurations with
    less than 8 electrons around the atoma suboctet.
  • A coordinate covalent bond forms when one atom
    donates both of the electrons to be shared with
    an atom or ion that needs two electrons.

21
Section 8-3
Exceptions to the Octet Rule (cont.)
  • A third group of compounds has central atoms with
    more than eight valence electrons, called an
    expanded octet.
  • Elements in period 3 or higher have a d-orbital
    and can form more than four covalent bonds.

22
Octet Rule
  • Exceptions
  • Hydrogen ? 2 valence e-
  • Groups 1,2,3 get 2,4,6 valence e-
  • Expanded octet ? more than 8 valence e-, central
    atom only and must be in the third row or lower
  • Radicals ? odd of valence e-
