OOOChapter 9 17Drawing Lewis StructuresDrawing Lewis StructuresResonance StructuresResonance Structures-Resonance structures are attempts to represent a real structure that is a mix between several extreme possibilities.-Each Lewis structure is call a Resonance FormResonance Form – Two or more Lewis structures having the same arrangements of atoms but a different arrangement of electronsChapter 9 18Drawing Lewis StructuresDrawing Lewis StructuresResonance StructuresResonance Structures-In ozone the resonance forms have one double and one single bond. -The actual structure of O3 is a combination (or average) of the individual forms called a resonance hybrid.OOOOOOChapter 9 19Exceptions to the Octet RuleExceptions to the Octet RuleThere are three classes of exceptions to the octet rule:-Molecules with an odd number of electrons-Molecules in which one atom has less than an octet-Molecules in which one atom has more than an octetChapter 9 20Exceptions to the Octet RuleExceptions to the Octet RuleOdd Number of ElectronsOdd Number of Electrons- there are few molecules which fit this categoryExamples. ClO2, NO, and NO2O N OChapter 9 21Exceptions to the Octet RuleExceptions to the Octet RuleLess than an OctetLess than an Octet-This refers to the central molecule-Typical for compounds of Groups 1A, 2A, and 3A.Examples: LiH, BeH2, BF3Be HHLi FBFFFChapter 9 22Exceptions to the Octet RuleExceptions to the Octet RuleMore than an OctetMore than an Octet-This starts for atoms in the 3rd period onwards.-This is due to vacant d orbitals which can hold the “extra” electrons.-Another factor is the size of the central atom, as they get bigger, it gets easier to place additional atoms around the central atom.Chapter 9 23Molecular ShapesMolecular ShapesLewis structures give atomic connectivity (which atoms are connected to which).Chapter 9 24Molecular ShapesMolecular ShapesMolecular Shapes are determined by:Bond Distance – Distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms along a straight line.Bond Angle – The angle between any two bonds containing a common atom.Chapter 9 25Molecular
