Presentation Transcript

  1. Molecular Structures Trevor B., Savannah A., Michael H.

  2. Structural Formulas / Lewis Structure • Structural Formulas are models using symbols of elements to show positions of atoms when bonded. • Lewis Structures show estimated models of the positions of both atoms and electrons in bonds. • What is the Structural formula of H2O? • What is the Lewis Structure of H2O?

  3. Steps for drawing Lewis Structures • 1: Predict The Location of the Atoms • 2: Determine The Number Of Electrons Available • 3: Determine The Number Of Electrons used in Bonding • 4: Draw bonded pairs • 5: Determine electron pairs remaining • 6: Draw in remaining atoms and determine middle atom

  4. Structural Formula/Lewis Structure Structural Formula of Water: Lewis Structure of Water:

  5. Types of Bonds Single Bonds: Double Bonds: Triple Bonds

  6. ~Resonance~ • Resonance: Condition where molecules can be represented by more than one Lewis Structure • Examples: NO3 (Nitrate) and H3C2O (Acetate)

  7. ~Exceptions~ • Odd Number Of Valence Electrons: Not enough electrons to form full octets/bonds • Expanded Octet: More electrons than normal octet • Sub Octet: Less electrons than normal octet • Coordinate Covalent Bond: An atom donates 2 electrons to a hobo atom who needs them

  8. Exception Models Sub Octet: Expanded Octet: Coordinated:
