Chapter 9 – Molecular Geometry and Bonding Theories

Lewis Dot Diagrams shows the type of covalent bonds and number of nonbonding electrons in a molecule. But it doesn’t show us how the atoms are arranged in the molecule. The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory allows us to determine the spatial arrangement of the atoms in a molecule. This is important because the molecular geometry determines the physical properties of a substance.

Covalent Compounds

• VSEPR Theory– Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsions• Bonding electrons and lone pairs of electrons will repel

themselves so that they will separate by the maximum distance possible.

Covalent Compounds

• VSEPR Theory– Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsions• The shape of a molecule is determined by these

repulsive forces.

Covalent Compounds

• Molecular Shapes– The geometry of most molecules can be explained

using 9 geometric shapes

• Linear• Trigonal Planar• Tetrahedral• Trigonal Bipyrimidal• See-Saw• T-Shaped• Square Planar• Square Pyramidal• Octahedral

Covalent Compounds• Molecular Shapes– Bonding versus Nonbonding Domains• A bonding domain refers to the number of bonding pairs of

electrons.• A nonbonding domain refers to the number of nonbonding

(lone pairs) of electrons on a central atom.• Ammonia has 4 domains – 3 bonding domains and 1

nonbonding domain.

• Water has 4 domains – 2 bonding domains and 2 nonbonding domains.

Molecular Geometry• Hybrid Orbitals

o The hybridization of orbitals explains how an atom can form a covalent bond with other atoms and have a specific geometric shape.

o If a central atom forms covalent bonds with 4 other atoms, then it must have hybridized its orbitals to accommodate 4 bonding spaces. Therefore one s and three p-orbitals must have hybridized to form an sp3.
