  1. Valence Bond Theory Linus Carl Pauling (February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994)

  2. Valence Bond Theory • The half filled orbital of one atom overlaps a half filled orbital of a second atom to form a full orbital with two electrons spinning in opposite directions. • The bonding atoms arrange themselves in order to maximize the overlap of the half-filled orbitals. • Maximum overlapping of the orbitals creates a bonding orbital with a lower energy and increased stability.

  3. Valence Bond Theory • The combination of electrostatic repulsion and opposing magnetic fields (due to the electron’s spin) creates the stability associated with a bonding orbital. Electron Spin Electron Spin Electrostatic repulsion Negative charge Negative charge Magnetic attraction “North” magnetic field “South” magnetic field

  4. Valence Bond Theory • During this process, two atoms approach each other and allow their half filled orbitals to overlap and form the stability of a filled bonding orbital.

  5. PROBLEMS WITH LEWIS THEORY

  6. Hybrid Orbitals • In some situations a more advantageous bonding scenario can be established by promoting electrons from a full orbital to a similar empty orbital to create two half filled orbitals that are available for bonding. • The resulting orbital is a mixture of the two original orbitals and is called a hybrid orbital. • For eg. What is the simplified energy level diagram (ie. Valence electrons) for Carbon?

  7. One s e-is promoted to the empty p orbital • This causes the energy of all 4 orbitals to shift: • The energy of the p orbitals is reduced slightly • The energy of the s orbital is increased slightly • Each orbital is a hybrid of 1 “s” and 3 “p” orbitals • Each hybrid orbital is called an “sp3” orbital

  16. sp3d and sp3d2 hybridization

  17. Double & Triple Bonds • Sigma (s) bonds – The “end-to-end” overlapping of half filled orbitals to make a full bonding orbital of lower energy level (i.e. – more stable) They occur between “s”, “p” and hybrid orbitals (“sp”,“sp2” & “sp3”) to make single covalent bonds.

  18. Double & Triple Bonds • Pi (p) bonds – The “side-to-side” overlapping of half filled “p” orbitals to make more stable filled bonding orbitals.

  19. Double & Triple Bonds • A combination of “p” and “s” bonds makes double and triple bonds. Single bonds Sigma only (s) Double bonds 1 Sigma (s) and 1 Pi (p)

  20. Double & Triple Bonds • A combination of “p” and “s” bonds makes double and triple bonds. Sigma (s ) bond Pi (p ) bond Pi (p ) bond Triple bonds 1 Sigma (s) and 2 Pi (p)
