  1. Unit 9:Covalent Bonding Chapters 8 & 9 Chemistry 1K Cypress Creek High School

  2. Lewis Structures • Count up total number of valence electrons • Connect all atomswith single bonds • “multiple” atoms usually on outside • “single” atoms usually in center; • C always in center, • H always on outside. • Complete octets on exterior atoms (not H, though) • no unpaired electrons 4) Check • valence electrons match with Step 1 • all atoms (except H) have an octet; if not, try multiple bonds • any extra electrons? • Put on central atom

  3. Cl Cl C Cl Cl Lewis Structure Practice • Carbon tetrachloride • Total valence electrons • 32 • Central atom • carbon • Bond to each of the chlorines • Fill up the octet of each of the chlorines • Check number of valence electrons • Check octet of each atom

  4. H C O H H H H H H C C H Lewis Structure Practice • Methane (CH4) • Ethyne (C2H2) • Water (H2O)

  5. Diatomic Elements • Some nonmetal elements on the periodic table exist in nature only as pairs called diatomic molecules; bonded covalently • H, O, F, Br, I, N, Cl Hydrogen Molecule (H2) http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/~acarpi/NSC/5-bonds.htm

  6. Molecular Shapes • Applies to covalent compounds only. • Use VSEPR steps (valence shell electron pair repulsion): • 1) Identify the central atom as the element that can form the most bonds • 2) Draw the Lewis dot structure for the molecule • 3) Count total # of electron pairs around the central atom • 4) Count # of bonding pairs of electrons around the central atom • 5) Count # of lone pairs of electrons around the central atom • 6) Look at summary chart, identify shape

  7. Molecular Shapes

  8. Exceptions to Octet Rule • Beryllium • Has 2 valence electrons • Full with 4 valence electrons • Ex: BeI2 • Aluminum • 3 valence electrons • Full with 6 valence electrons • Ex: AlCl3 • Boron • 3 valence electrons • Full with 6 valence electrons • Ex: BH3

  9. Expanded Octets • Some atoms bond so they have more than 8e- in the outer level • Occur only around a central nonmetallic atom from period 3 or higher PCl5 SF6

  10. Molecular Shape Example • What is the shape of water (H2O)? • 1) Central atom? oxygen • 2) Draw Lewis Dot… • 3) # of total electron pairs around central atom? 4 • 4) # of bonding pairs around central atom? 2 • 5) # of lone pairs around central atom? 2 • 6) Refer to chart to identify shape…angular (bent)

  11. Molecular Shape Prediction • Try to predict the shape using VSEPR and your shape chart: 1) BCl3 2) CH4 3) NH3 Lewis Dot Central Atom # e- pairs # bonded pairs # lone pairs Shape
