Study Notes
Lewis Diagrams and Resonance Forms
- Lewis diagrams are a straightforward way of representing the valence electrons of an atom.
- Covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons.
- Ionic bonds occur when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
- The Octet Rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable configuration of eight electrons in their outer shell.
- Period 2 elements (C, N, O, F) cannot exceed an octet due to the lack of d-orbitals.
- Period 3 and beyond elements can have expanded octets by using vacant d-orbitals.
- Elements like phosphorus (P) can form expanded octets.
- Boron (B) can form compounds with incomplete octets (e.g., BF3).
- Odd electron molecules like nitric oxide (NO) have an odd number of valence electrons.
- Resonance is a concept where multiple bonds can be represented in several equivalent locations.
- Resonance forms are possible Lewis diagrams that depict the molecule or ion.
- Resonance hybrid is the actual structure of the molecule or ion that is a blend of resonance forms.
- The nitrate ion (NO3-) is an example of resonance, and its structure is a resonance hybrid of three resonance forms.
- Sulfur dioxide (SO2) also exhibits resonance and has two resonance forms.
- Benzene (C6H6) is a classic example of resonance and has two major resonance forms.
- Bond strength is measured by bond enthalpy (ΔHB), which is the energy required to break a specific bond.
- The strength of a bond is influenced by the atoms involved and their surrounding environment.
- Stronger bonds have higher bond enthalpies.
- Bond length is the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms.
- Heavier atoms have larger atomic radii and thus longer bond lengths.
- Multiple bonds are shorter than single bonds between the same atoms due to increased electron density.
- Covalent radii tend to increase as you move down a group in the periodic table.
