    What are exceptions to the octet rule?

    Molecules or ions that do not follow the octet rule, having an odd number of valence electrons or less than eight electrons in their valence shell, are called exceptions to the octet rule.

    Study Notes

    Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

    • Ionic Bonding: Transfer of valence electrons from one element to another, typically between metals and non-metals. Lewis structures are used to illustrate.
    • Covalent Bonding: Sharing of valence electrons between two atoms to achieve a stable octet configuration. Single and double covalent bonds are shown in Lewis structures. Examples include Cl₂, H₂, O₂, N₂, and CH₄.
    • Lewis Structures: Depict the arrangement of valence electrons in molecules and ions, showing bonding pairs and lone pairs.
    • Formal Charge: The difference between the number of valence electrons in an isolated atom and the number of electrons assigned to that atom in a molecule. Calculated as: Valence Electrons - (Lone Pair Electrons + 1/2 Bonding Pair Electrons)

    Ions

    • Ammonium ion (NH₄⁺): Total valence electrons: 8. Lewis structure shows the arrangement of atoms and shared electrons.
    • Carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻): Total valence electrons: 24. Lewis structure displays the arrangement of atoms and shared electrons.
    • Nitrate ion (NO₃⁻): Total valence electrons: 24. Lewis structure shows the arrangement of atoms and shared electrons.
    • Nitrite ion (NO₂⁻): Total valence electrons: 18. Lewis structure shows the arrangement of atoms and shared electrons.
    • Ozone ion (O₃): Total valence electrons: 18. Lewis structure displays the arrangement of atoms and shared electrons.

    Bond Parameters

    • Bond Length: Distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms.
    • Bond Energy: Energy required to break a chemical bond between two atoms.
    • Bond Angle: Angle between two bonds that emanate from the same atom.
    • Bond Order: Number of shared electron pairs between two atoms in a bond.

    Resonance

    • Molecules with multiple possible Lewis structures exhibit resonance. A hybrid structure represents the average of all possible structures, indicating delocalized electrons.

    Polarity of Bonds

    • Differences in electronegativity between bonded atoms can lead to polar covalent bonds. Shared electron pairs are drawn towards the more electronegative atom, creating partial charges (δ+ and δ-).
    • Examples of polar covalent bonds include HF and HCl.

    VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)

    • The theory predicts the shapes of molecules based on the arrangement of bonding and non-bonding electron pairs around the central atom.
    • Aims to minimize repulsion by arranging electron pairs as far apart as possible. Different geometries arise due to different numbers of bonding and lone electron pairs.
    • Used to explain molecular shapes, including linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral geometries.
