VSEPR
• Valence shell electron pair repulsion
• Repulsion between the sets of valence-level electrons surrounding an atom causes these sets to be oriented as far apart as possible.
![Page 2: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Two atoms
• Linear• Electron pairs spread out as far as possible
to minimize repulsive forces• Draw picture of example

AB2
• Be is used, it is an exception to the octet rule.
• No unshared pairs of electrons.• Linear shape

AB3
• Equilateral triangle with all atoms on one plane
• Trigonal planar• Angles 120 degrees apart• Example -- GaF3
• No unshared pairs

AB4
• Tetrahedron shape– Tetrahedral shape
• No unshared pairs• Example CH4

Now, with unshared electron pairs
• An unshared pair of electrons is associated with the central atom.
• It is like an electron cloud shaped like a pear with one end attached to the nucleus.
• FYI (a shared pair moves between two nuclei and therefore forms a more slender, stretched pear shaped cloud.)
![Page 7: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
continued
• the unshared pair does not literally occupy space.
• The unshared pair shows greater repulsion than shared electron pairs.
• For geometry purposes only, we think of the unshared electron pair as occupying “space” around the nucleus.

AB3E
• E represents the unshared pair.• Trigonal Pyramidal
– Base forms a triangle, the unshared electron pair forms the top of the pyramid.

Hybridization
• Carbon – Only has 2 “free” p electrons, but bonds with 4
atoms. – Forms tetrahedral shaped molecules
![Page 12: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
sp3
• The s orbital merges with the p orbitals to make a sp3 orbital
• Hybrid orbitals• All 4 are identical
![Page 13: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Other types of hybridization
Hybridization explains the geometry of many group 15 and 16 elements
sp linear• Sp2 trigonal planar• Sp3 tetrahedral

Polarity
• In a covalent bond the more electronegative atom will pull on the electron more.
• So, the electron will spend more time around the more electronegative atom’s nuclei.
• With geometry this creates a polar molecule.
![Page 15: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Polar molecule
• If you can draw a line through it making a partial negative and a partial positive side.
• Polar molecule – uneven distribution of charge.
• Polar molecules cause dipoles.

Intermolecular forces
• Force of attraction between two moleculestypes:
dipole - dipoleinduced dipolehydrogen bondingLondon dispersion
![Page 17: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Intermolecular forces
• Forces of attraction between two molecules.
• Measured by boiling point- energy required for a molecule to break away from the other molecules.
• Higher boiling point, stronger the attraction
![Page 18: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Polar molecules
• Strongest intermolecular forces• Form dipoles
– Dipole– Arrow indicates the direction of the dipole– Positive to negative pole– Indicated on the bonds
![Page 19: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Dipole-dipole forces
• The forces of attraction between polar molecules
• Short range, acts on nearby molecules• Larger the dipole dipole attraction, stronger
the intermolecular forces
![Page 20: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Induced dipoles
• Short range• Weaker than dipole- dipole between polar
molecules
• Why some non-polar substances dissolve in polar water
![Page 21: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Induced continued
• A polar molecule comes into contact with a non-polar molecule.The partial charge either attracts or repels the electrons of the non-polar molecule. Thus creating a temporary dipole.

Hydrogen bonding
• Some hydrogen containing compounds have unusually high boiling points.
• Explained by a strong dipole dipole force called hydrogen bonding.
• Represented by dashed lines----• Intermolecular force

Hydrogen Bonding definition
• The intermolecular forces in which a small hydrogen atom, that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom, is attracted to an unshared pair of electrons of an electronegative atom in a nearby molecule.
![Page 24: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
London dispersion forces
• Electrons are in continuous motion.• At any given instant, the physical
distribution of electrons could be uneven. • Momentary imbalance can cause a positive
and negative pole.• This can then induce a dipole in a
neighboring molecule!

London dispersion forces
• The intermolecular attraction resulting from the constant motion of electrons and the creation of instantaneous dipoles.
![Page 26: VSEPR](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56815fa9550346895dcea27a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Weak• Intermolecular• More electrons more possibility – stronger
they are.• More electrons generally means more mass.
