TODAY’s NOTES:   

Octet Hybridization Table:

Although we say the bond angles of any sp3 hybridized molecule is 109.5 degrees that is not entirely true as the “Internuclear Distance of the electron lone pair will decrease if there is not a nucleus pulling it away from the central hybridized atom.   The hybrid orbitals that contain the lone pair(s) are thus closer to the other hybrid orbitals and thus these hybrid orbitals repel the bonded hybrid orbitals into a smaller angle.
 
Notice the water, with 2 lone pairs, decreases the bond angle more (105)than one lone pair of ammonia (107).  You do not need to know the exact bond angles of molecular geometries for the lone pair molecules but be aware of this and why.

4.  Bond Energy – Bond Energy and Bond length discussion with table below:

Carbon – Carbon bonds, electronegativity in HF, HCl, HBr, HI. Why is HI strongest acid?
 

TODAY’s NOTES: 

Bond Energy and length data:  
Bond energy = the energy needed to break bonds = Bonds are stable thus Bond energy is always positive.
 
Bond length = distance between nuclei of atoms in a bond. 
                              Stronger the bond, stronger the attraction to the electrons between the bonded atoms and
                              this will lead to a shorter bond length.
 
                                   Stronger the BOND Energy the shorter the BOND length! 
 
    π (pi) bonding occurs with every multiple bond between 2 atoms but it does not double or triple the bond 
energy because π bonding contains electron density that IS NOT between 2 nuclei.  I often describe π 
bonding as bonds that are perpendicular to the 2 nuclei that are simultaneously attracting the electrons. 
This is weaker than if the electrons are located exactly between the 2 nuclei in σ (sigma) bonding.

TODAY’s NOTES:
*Formal Charges will help us determine how many double bonded oxygen in more advanced structures (chlorate structures). we keep adding the double bonds till the central atom will become a formal charge of zero.  Remember that Formal Charges are “bookkeeping values”  that help us determine the most accurate Lewis Structure.  They are part of this valence bond theory that is not perfect in explaining or predicting the properties of all molecules but without experimental data you  MUST follow formal charge rules:
 
a: Best Lewis Structure will have the more atoms at or near zero (atoms are using their valence electrons in the drawn Lewis structures).
 
b.  If given a choice the most Electronegative Atom will have a negative value (that atom will gain the electron because of its larger coulombic attractions for electrons).
 
c.  If the formal charges stay constant for different Lewis Structures for the same molecule or ion then you have Resonance.
 
                 Bond Order =     All the bonds in a molecule (pair of electrons between atoms)
                                        All the regions in the Lewis Dot Diagram that have bonds.
 
Molecules with resonant structures have Bond orders that are decimals to show that the electrons are are delocalized throughout the entire molecule!!  This adds a little extra bond energy in every domain AND THUS THE BOND LENGTHS and BOND Energy will be somewhere in between a single and double bond!

3/9 – Wednesday Homework: – 

 

1. Make sure you have reviewed last nights form with the key

2. Watch the Hybridization lecture – sp3d, sp3d lecture below (Expanded Octets Lecture):
 
We know that elements in Row 2 can only have a max of 8 electrons shared (octet rule!).
So it makes sense if we have elements with a n number greater than 2 (beyond row 2) then we can have Lewis dot structures that have more than 8 for our central hybridized atoms.
 
3:  Then complete  the Hybridization identification worksheet 2 expanded octets.pdf and start this worksheet with another video that models the first few chemicals and then review with the key.
Use my lecture and the worksheets to figure out the new geometries of the 2 NEW hybrid families!

Run through slides 36 – 39:

4: Lattice Energy – Lets Remember that we have ionic compounds that are in the mix.  They are ions attracting themselves in a crystal lattice and are not part of the hybridization or polarity discussion.  Because all ionic compounds are solids (in crystal arrangements) at STP we use lattice energy to describe their stability or strength of ionic character.  Much like we use the difference of electronegativity for the dipole moment of each polar bond in covalent (molecular) compounds.

5. Limitations of valence bond theories.

TODAY’s NOTES:

 
Class Notes on the limitations of the Valance Bond Theories:
 
Valence bond theories that we learned:
1: Covalent bonds – sigma, pi bonding
2: VSEPR theory – (electron orbitals repelling to form equidistance stable geometries)
3: Lewis Dot structures
4. Hybridization
 
 
Our valence bond theories = hybridization, VSEPR, Lewis dot diagrams have limitations as we have seen.  How does the chlorate ion have resonance if it is sp3 hybridized and there are no un-hybridized p orbitals to pi bond with?
 
Remember that dots on a piece of paper can give us so much information for many molecules some complex but some our rules of formal charges that help guide us to the best structure guide us to structures that actually do not exist based on their properties found experimentally!
 
Here is an example of the sulfate ion, SO4-2
 
THE LEWIS DIAGRAM BELOW REPRESENTS THE BEST LEWIS DOT STRUCTURE BASED ON FORMAL CHARGES.  Below each sulfur has a Formal charge of ZERO!
Above is what our valence bond theory predicts using the rules of Formal Charges and etc.  THIS IS NOT WHAT WE FIND experimentally!!! Actually the lewis diagrams that we find from experimental evidence looks like the following.
 
The sulfur below has a Formal Charge of +2 and yet it is the structure we identify experimentally!
 
WHAT???  How can it exist more like this structure when clearly is breaks the rules of Formal Charges (+2) on the Sulfur atom?  Actually the charge is measured to be +1.77 on the sulfur in experiments.  What gives?  The bonding is neither covalent nor ionic it is something in between.. 
 
So we are at the end or the limits of this valence bond theory. We were were always going to be limited by a theory that treats electrons as dots when we have learned from electrons exist as waves!!!
 
OK so what if we run into a Lewis Diagram that is beyond the Valence Bond Theory?
The Current AP Curriculum does not support using Formal Charges to provide guidance in building lewis dot diagrams that are beyond the Octet Rule.  The rest of the world does so we make the following rule when dealing with AP:
 
If there is a element that exists in row three and beyond then the octet rule takes preference:
Does experimental evidence support this rule completely? No.  Does experimental evidence support the use of formal charges completely? No.  We need a new theory!
 
Example:  SO4- , SO3
So lets learn a new theory that picks up where valance bond theory leaves off.  It is called MO theory or molecular orbital theory and it treats electrons as waves!
