Constructing Molecular Shapes  A Tutorial on Writing the Shape of Molecules Dr. Fred Omega Garces Chemistry 100 Miramar College VSEPR- Valence Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion Theory Main premise of model- Valence electron pair repel each other in molecule with shapes the molecule Molecule assumes Geometry that minimizes electrostatic repulsion: Occurs when electron pair are far apart as possible. Driving force is the Pauli exclusion principle : 2 electrons with same spin cant occupy the same space. Electronic Geometry is the geometry around the central atom in which electron-electron repulsion is minimize. AEn (system) Molecular Geometry is geometry around central atom when electron pairs are replace by bonding atoms and the nonbonding electrons are ignored. ABmEn (system) VSEPR- Procedural Steps 1) Determine the Lewis Structure. a) Valence electrons for each atom in the structure. b) Determine the atomic sequence, the number of bonds, remaining electrons c) Write Lewis structure with each atom obeying the octet rule Example: HNO3 (See Lewis Structure Tutorial) VSEPR- Procedural Steps 2) Determine electronic geometry (AEn system) from Lewis structure. a) Count the electron domain (region) around the central atom. b) Arrange electron domain to minimize electron-electron repulsion. Occurs when electron pair are far apart as possible. c) 2-domainglinear, 3-domaingtrigonal, 4-domaingtetrahedral Example: HNO3 Central Atoms, N and O N: Three electron domain AE3 g Trigonal O: Four electron domain AE4 g Tetrahedral VSEPR- Procedural Steps 3) Determine molecule geometry (ABmEn) from electronic geometry. a) The geometry is based on the position of the atoms. b) The lone pair electrons are ignored for the molecular geometry. i) Elec Geometry -Linear AE2.
