Lewis Dot Structures and Chemical BONDING Section 3. Lewis Dot Structures 2 An Atom Refresher An atom has three parts: Proton = positive Neutron = no charge Electron = negative The proton & neutron are found in the center of the atom, a place called the nucleus. The electrons orbit the nucleus. Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.All rights reserved. Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 9–4 Atom Models There are two models of the atoms we will be using in class. Bohr Model Lewis Dot Structure Bohr Model The Bohr Model shows all of the particles in the atom. In the center are circles. Each circle represents a single neutron - or proton. Protons should have a plus or “p” written on them. Neutrons should be blank or have + an “n.” + In a circle around the nucleus are - the electrons. Electrons should have a minus sign or an e. Rules for Electrons You can’t just shove all of the electrons into the first orbit of an electron. Electrons exist in shells or energy levels. – Also called orbitals Only so many can be in any certain shell. The electrons in the outer most shell of any element are called valance electrons. Nucleus 1st shell 2nd shell 3rd shell 8 Electron Shells Only two electrons (e-) will fit in the first shell. Only eight electrons will fit in the second and third shells. Rules for Drawing an Atom: 1. Determine the number of protons 3 (atomic number) 2. Determine the number of Li neutrons (Atomic mass – atomic Lithium number) 7 3. Determine the number of electrons (atomic number) So let’s try it…. Protons = 3 - 3 + Li + + - Lithium - 7 Electrons = 3 Atomic Mass = 7 2 in the 1 shell, 1 in the st 2nd shell Neutrons = 4 (7-3=4) Stable Atoms (Magic Number 8!) Atoms with a full outer shell (8 e-) are stable – They don’t react or bond with any other element Ex: He = 2 valence electrons in the first shell Ne = 8 valence electrons in the second shell Ar = 8 valence electrons in the third shell These are the Noble Gasses! Created by G.Baker www.thesciencequeen.net Created by G.Baker www.thesciencequeen.net Know how to determine the valence electron for all elements. Definition: Valence Electrons An electron in an outer shell of an atom that can participate in forming chemical bonds with other atoms. Electrons directly involved in Example: forming bonds to form compounds, H has 1 valence electron F has 7 valence electrons Carbon has 4 valence electrons Bond Polarity Ionic and covalent bonding is not black and white Sharing is not usually equal – It’s an electron tug of war Must look at electronegativity to determine how equally electrons are shared What Electronegativity Means? Is a measure of tendency of an atom to attract electrons, the higher its value, the higher its tendency to attract electrons. - Metals have low electronegativity and non-metal have high electronegativity. This property plays an important role in forming compounds Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.All rights reserved. Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 9–17 Electronegativity The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself Developed by Linus Pauling – Gave values for all elements based on thermochemical data Linus Carl Pauling (1901-1994) Electronegativity: On the periodic chart, electronegativity increases as you go… – …from left to right across a row. – …from the bottom to the top of a column. Electronegativities of the Elements Cs (EN = 0.7) is least F with EN = 4.0 is electronegative most electronegative element element Au is at the peak of an island of electronegativity, and is most electronegative metal How About Ionization Energy? Is the needed energy to pull or remove one or more electron/s from a neutral atom. The lower the ionization energy the easier it is to remove its valence electrons.

Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 9–21 Lewis Dot Structure Bohr Model The Lewis Dot - - - + Structure is a bit - + + + - different from the + + + + Bohr model. - - - It only shows the element symbol and O it’s valence electrons. Lewis Dot Diagram Lewis Structures A molecular formula shows the number and identity of all of the atoms in a compound, but not which atoms are bonded to each other. A Lewis structure shows the connectivity between atoms, as well as the location of all bonding and nonbonding valence electrons. 23 Drawing Lewis Diagrams for Molecules Step 1 Draw each element separately, showing the valence electrons. (Use different symbols for different atoms) Step 2 Choose the least occurring atom as the central atom (or the least electronegative). Except hydrogen or Oxygen. Step 3 Add next frequently occurring atoms around the central atom keeping symmetry in mind. You cannot put two of one atom next to each other Ie/ OOAl must be O Al O Step 4 Add all the electrons and then put Hydrogen on LAST,5oxygen Step Never atoms leave anonunpaired 2nd to last. electron Step 6 Circle your 8’s starting with the central atom Group 1 = 2e- H; Group 2 = 2e- or 4e- :Mg ;Mg; (Connectivity) From the Chemical Formula, determine the atom connectivity for the structure. Find the central atom. Examples: i. Given a chemical formula, ABn, A is the central atom and B flanks the A atom. i.e., NH3, NCl3, NO2. In these examples, N is central in the structure. H H N ii. H and F Hare never central atoms.

CH2ClF HNO3 CH3COOH H2Se H2SO4 O3 In general when there is a single central atom in the molecule, CH2ClF, SeCl2, O3 (CO2, NH3, PO43-), the central atom is the first atom in the chemical formula. Except when the first atom in the chemical formula is Hydrogen (H) or fluorine (F). In which case the central atom is the second atom in the chemical formula.

Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 9–32 Writing Lewis Dot Formulas The Lewis electron-dot formula of a covalent compound is a simple two- dimensional representation of the positions of electrons in a molecule. – Bonding electron pairs are indicated by either two dots or a dash. – In addition, these formulas show the positions of lone pairs of electrons. Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.All rights reserved. Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 9–33 Writing Lewis Dot Formulas The following rules allow you to write electron-dot formulas even when the central atom does not follow the octet rule. – To illustrate, we will draw the structure of PCl3, phosphorus trichloride. PCl 3 Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.All rights reserved. Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 9–34 Writing Lewis Dot Formulas Step 1: Total all valence electrons in the molecular formula. That is, total the group numbers of all the atoms in the formula. PCl 3 26 e- total 5 e- (7 e-) x 3 – For a polyatomic anion, add the number of negative charges to this total. – For a polyatomic cation, subtract the number of positive charges from this total.

O O O – This is called delocalized bonding, in which a bonding pair of electrons is spread over a number of atoms. Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.All rights reserved.

Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 9–50 Exceptions to the Octet Rule Although many molecules obey the octet rule, there are exceptions where the central atom has more than eight electrons. – Generally, if a nonmetal is in the third period or greater it can accommodate as many as twelve electrons, if it is the central atom. – These elements have unfilled “d” subshells that can be used for bonding. Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.All rights reserved. Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 9–51 Exceptions to the Octet Rule Most of the common elements generally follow the octet rule. H is a notable exception, because it needs only 2 e− in bonding. Elements in group 3A do not have enough valence e− to form an octet in a neutral molecule. F F B F only 6 e− on B 52 Exceptions to the Octet Rule Elements in the third row have empty d orbitals available to accept electrons. Thus, elements such as P and S may have more than 8 e− around them. O O HO P OH HO S OH OH O 10 e− on P 12 e− on S 53 Exceptions to the Octet Rule For example, the bonding in phosphorus pentafluoride, PF5, shows ten electrons surrounding the phosphorus. : :F: : F: : : : :F P F: : :F: : : Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.All rights reserved.

Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 9–55 Formal Charge and Lewis Structures In certain instances, more than one feasible Lewis structure can be illustrated for a molecule. For example, H C N: or H N C: – The concept of “formal charge” can help discern which structure is the most likely. Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.All rights reserved. Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 9–56 Formal Charge and Lewis Structures The formal charge of an atom is determined by subtracting the number of electrons in its “domain” from its group number. group 1 e- 4 e- 5 e- 1 e- 4 e- 5 e- number H C N: or H N C: “domain” I IV V I V IV electrons – The number of electrons in an atom’s “domain” is determined by counting one electron for each bond and two electrons for each lone pair. Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.All rights reserved. Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 9–57 Formal Charge and Lewis Structures The most likely structure is the one with the least number of atoms carrying formal charge. If they have the same number of atoms carrying formal charge, choose the structure with the negative formal charge on the more electronegative atom. formal H C or N: H N C: charge 0 0 0 0 +1 -1 – In this case, the structure on the left is most likely correct.
