Chapter 2. Molecular Structure and Bonding
Inorganic chemists are adept at describing the molecular shapes of molecules and describing the bonding and electronic structures starting with qualitative “guesses” and building complexity from there. • Review of Lewis Structures• Review of Valence Bond Theory• Review of molecular orbital theory• MOT descriptions of inorganic molecules.

Lewis StructuresI. Emphasize covalent bonding• A. Rules
• 1. a bond corresponds to a shared pair of electrons• A:B or A-B• A::B or A=B… quadruple bonds in some metal
complexes.
• 2. Unshared pairs of electrons are called lone pairs and do not contribute to bonding, but are stereochemically active.
• 3. Octet Rule (Noble gas configuration)
...
13
Lewis Structures• 5. determine the number of valence electrons taking
into account overall charge.
• 6. Arrange chemical symbols of elements to show which are bonded together (usually the least electronegative element is in the middle).
• 7. Distribute electron pairs sot that each bond has a pair of electrons. Then distribute remainder to lone pairs and multiple bonds to satisfy the octet rule.

Bond Length• Equilibrium Bond Length is the distance between the center of two bonded atoms.• Contribution of each atom is the covalent radius.• van der Waals radius are the “closeness” nonbonding atoms get to each other.

VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion)
Basic Tenents• 1. Regions of high electron
density (bp(s) + lp(s)) take up positions as far apart as possible.
• 2. Molecular shape is determined by the resulting atomic positions
• 3. lone pairs take up more space than bond pairs
