Lewis Electron-Dot Formulas n A Lewis electron-dot formula is an illustration used to represent the transfer of electrons during the formation of an ionic bond Ø The Magnesium has two electrons to give, whereas the Fluorines have only one “vacancy” each Ø 12/4/2020 2+ Mg [: F: ] : : [: F: ] - . F: : : : F. . Mg. - Consequently, Magnesium can accommodate two Fluorine atoms 2
Lewis Structures n The tendency of atoms in a molecule to have eight electrons (ns 2 np 6) in their outer shell (two for hydrogen) is called the octet rule n You can represent the formation of the covalent bond in H 2 as follows: H + H Ø 12/4/2020 H H This uses the Lewis dot symbols for the hydrogen atom and represents the covalent bond by a pair of dots 3
Lewis Structures n The shared electrons in H 2 spend part of the time in the region around each atom : H H Ø 12/4/2020 In this sense, each atom in H 2 has a helium (1 s 2) configuration 4
Lewis Structures n The formation of a bond between H and Cl to give an HCl molecule can be represented in a similar way. Cl : : Ø 12/4/2020 H : Cl : : + : : H. Thus, hydrogen has two valence electrons about it (as in He) and Cl has eight valence electrons about it (as in Ar) 5
Lewis Structures n Formulas such as these are referred to as Lewis electron-dot formulas or Lewis structures : : H Cl Ø An electron pair is either a: § bonding pair (shared between two atoms) § lone pair (electron pair that is not shared) Hydrogen has no unbonded pairs Chlorine has 3 unbonded pairs 12/4/2020 6
Lewis Structures n Rules for obtaining Lewis electron dot formulas Ø 12/4/2020 Calculate the number of valence electrons for the molecule from: group # for each atom (1 -8) add the charge of Anion subtract the charge of a Cation Ø Put atom with the lowest group number and lowest electronegativity as the central atom Ø Arrange the other elements (ligands) around the central atom 7
Lewis Structures n 12/4/2020 Rules for Lewis Dot Formulas Ø Distribute electrons to atoms surrounding the central atom to satisfy the octet rule for each atom Ø Distribute the remaining electrons as pairs to the central atom Ø If the Central atom is deficient in electrons to complete the octet; move electron pairs from surrounding atoms to complete central atom valence electron needs, that is form one or more double bonds (possibly triple bonds) around the central atom 8
Practice Problem n Write a lewis structure for CCl 2 F 2 Step 1: Arrange Atoms (Carbon is “Central Atom” because is has the lowest group number and lowest electronegativity Step 2: Determine total number of valence electrons 1 x C(4) + 2 x Cl(7) + 2 x F(7) = 32 Step 3: Draw single bonds to central atom and subtract
Writing Lewis Dot Formulas n 12/4/2020 The Lewis electron-dot formula of a covalent compound is a simple two-dimensional representation of the positions of electrons in a molecule Ø Bonding electron pairs are indicated by either two dots or a dash Ø In addition, these formulas show the positions of lone pairs of electrons 10
Writing Lewis Dot Formulas n The following rules allow you to write electrondot formulas even when the central atom does not follow the octet rule Ø To illustrate, draw the structure of: Phosphorus Trichloride Con’t on next slide 12/4/2020 11
Writing Lewis Dot Formulas n Step 1: Total all valence electrons in the molecular formula. That is, total the group numbers of all the atoms in the formula P 3 s 23 p 3 5 e- (7 e-) x 3 Cl 3 s 23 p 5 (2+3) + 3 x(2+5) = 5+21 26 total electrons Ø For a polyatomic anion, add the number of negative charges to this total Ø For a polyatomic cation, subtract the number of positive charges from this total Con’t on next slide 12/4/2020 12
Writing Lewis Dot Formulas n Step 2: Ø Arrange the atoms radially, with the least electronegative atom in the center Ø Place one pair of electrons between the central atom and each peripheral atom Cl Cl P Cl 12/4/2020 26 – 6 = 20 remaining Con’t on next slide 13
Writing Lewis Dot Formulas : Cl Cl P : : Step 3: Distribute the remaining electrons to the peripheral atoms to satisfy the octet rule : n : : Cl : 26 – (3 x 6 + 6) = 2 remaining Con’t on next slide 12/4/2020 14
Writing Lewis Dot Formulas Cl P : : : Cl : : Step 4: Distribute any remaining electrons (2) to the central atom. If the number of electrons on the central atom is less than the number of electrons required to complete the octet for that atom, use one or more electrons pairs from other atoms to form double or triple bonds Phosphorus has an octet of electrons No double bonds required 12/4/2020 : : Cl : 15
Exceptions to the Octet Rule n 12/4/2020 Although many molecules obey the octet rule, there are exceptions where the central atom has more than eight electrons Ø 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 Ø These elements have unfilled “d” subshells that can be used for bonding 16
Exceptions to the Octet Rule n : F: P F : : : F: : : For example, the bonding in phosphorus pentafluoride, PF 5, shows ten electrons surrounding the phosphorus Total valence electrons 5 x 7 (F) + 5 (P) = 40 Distribute electrons to F atoms 5 x 6 = 30 Establish bonding pairs 5 x 2 = 10 Remaining electrons 40 – 30 – 10 = 0 Phosphorus has “ 0” non-bonding pairs Since Phosphorus is in Period 3, PF 5 is a “hypervalent” molecule The phosphorus utilizes electrons from other shells (vacant orbitals) to create a valence shell with more than 8 electrons 12/4/2020 17
Exceptions to the Octet Rule n In Xenon Tetrafluoride, Xe. F 4, the Xenon atom must accommodate two extra lone pairs Xe F: : : F : : : F F: : : Total valence electrons 4 x 7 + 8 = 36 Distribute electrons to F atoms 4 x 6 = 24 Establish bonding pairs 4 x 2=8 Remaining electrons 36 – 24 – 8 = 4 Add 2 non-bonding pairs to Xe Xe violates “octet” rule 12/4/2020 Xe. F 4 is a “hypervalent” molecule and utilizes vacant “d” orbitals to create a valence shell with more than 8 electrons 18
Delocalized Bonding: Resonance Ø The structure of Ozone, O 3, can be represented by two different Lewis electron-dot formulas Ozone (O 3) : : : O : : O: : : O or O : : O O Experiments show, however, that both bonds are identical 12/4/2020 19
Delocalized Bonding: Resonance n According to Resonance Theory, these two equal bonds are represented as one pair of bonding electrons spread over the region of all three atoms Ozone (O 3) O O n 12/4/2020 O This is called delocalized bonding, in which a bonding pair of electrons is spread over a number of atoms 20

Formal Charge & Lewis Structures Ø When you can write several Lewis structures, choose the one having the least formal charge Form I 1 e- 4 e- H C “domain” electrons I IV FC: Form II 5 e- N: V 1 eor H I 5 e- 4 e- V IV +1 N C: -1 group number Total Valence e- – unshared e- – ½ shared e- FCH: [1 - 0 - ½(2)] = 0 FCC: [4 - 0 - ½(8)] = 0 FCC: [4 - 2 - ½(6)] = -1 FCN: [5 - 2 - ½(6)] = 0 FCN: [5 - 0 - ½(8)] = +1 Preferred Form - Form I (Least Formal Charge) Note: HCN is a neutral molecule Sum of Formal Charges in the preferred form (0) equals molecular charge (0) 12/4/2020 22

Formal Charge vs Oxidation No n “Formal Charge” is used to examine resonance hybrid structures , whereas “Oxidation Number” is used to monitor “REDOX” reactions Ø Formal Charge - Bonding electrons are assigned equally to the atoms as if the bonding were “Nonpolar” covalent, i. e. , each atom has half the electrons making up the bond Ø Oxidation Number - Bonding electrons are transferred completely to the more electronegative atom, as if the bonding were “Ionic” 12/4/2020 Formal Charge = valence e- – (unbonded e- + ½ bonding e-) Oxidation No. = valence e- – (unbonded e- + bonding e-) 27

The Valence-Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Model (VSEPR) n The Valence-Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) model predicts the shapes of molecules and ions by assuming that the valence shell electron pairs are arranged as far from one another as possible § Molecular geometry – The shape of a molecule is determined by the positions of atomic nuclei relative to each other, i. e. , angular arrangement § Central Atom 12/4/2020 Ø Place atom with “Lower Group Number” in center (N in NF 3 needs more electrons to complete octet) Ø If atoms have same group number (SO 3 or Cl. F 3), place the atom with the “Higher Period Number” in the center (Sulfur & Chlorine) 29
