Presentation Transcript

  1. Molecular Geometry NCSCOS Essential Standard Chm 1.2.3

  2. I. VSEPR Theory • Valance Shell Electron Pair Repulsion • Gives molecules their shape • Pairs of electron repel to be as far apart as possible

  3. II. Shapes (Geometries) • Linear • A2 ex: F2 • AB ex: HCl • AB2 (with a double bond) ex: CO2 carbon dioxide

  4. Trigonal Planar • AB3 • no unshared pairs of electrons • Usually occurs w/ elements that do not fulfill the octet rule (ex: B) • BH3

  5. Tetrahedral • AB4 • No unshared pairs of electrons • Ex: CH4

  6. Bent or Angular • AB2E2 • 2 unshared pairs of electrons • Ex: H2O = OH2

  7. Trigonal Pyramidal • AB3E • 1 pair of unshared electrons • Ex: NH3

  8. III. Molecule Polarity • Polar Molecules: opposite ends of the molecule contain opposite partial charges. • Electrons are not distributed evenly across the molecule • Ex: H2O • All molecules that have E, and some linear.

  9. Nonpolar Molecules: no opposite charges • Electrons are evenly distributed across the entire molecule • All molecules that do not have an E & diatomic molecules. • Ex: CH4 • Ex: Cl2
