Lewis Structures

HW Practice Sheet

Work through at least 10 examples on the

Praticing Lewis Structure link above

8 9

10

Middle School Swimming Starts- FInd me on the pool deck during CP!

Lewis Structure Practice Again!

You should be very familiar with the sequence of how to solve the structure.

1. Skeleton

2. Valence contribution

3. minus bonding

4. assign electrons

5. octet complete?

6. Rearrange bonds?

7. check formal charge

11

Make sure that you have reviewed ALL the links above...in the box...next to the comic....for those who have felt my instructions were unclear...ahem...

Lewis Structure & Resonance

Resonance means that there is more than one Lewis structure for a molecule

Try CH3COO- an acetate anion- resonance is a blend of all the possible Lewis structures or an average. The "C-O" bond is stronger than a single bond and less than a double bond

single bonds are known as sigma bonds

 

Octet Exceptions- for example- XeF4  and Boron triflouride -BF3, PCl5

Complete the Lewis structure and show which atom is an Octet exception.

Periods 3 and above can expand their octet due to d orbitals

Coordinate Covalent Bonds-  Unbonded pairs can be transferred completely to another atom. The examples below are coordinate covalent bonds

CO

NH3 +  (H+) -->

NH3  + BF3 -->

show the above above are examples that do not fit the rules we have learned....

Correctly write the structure for : Hydrogen cyanide- HCN

Follow the rules!

 

12

Bond Length- distance between nuclei- this may help determine what type of bond is present- covalent double bond or single bond.

Bond Order- number of electrons in a bond, bond length is determined by bond order As bond order increases so does bond strength

Bond Energies review table on page 277 Double bonds are stronger than single bonds

 

 

This is the end of Chapter 9 in your text- the next test will cover Periodic Law, Lewis Structures, and VSPER- date will be determined-looking like late next week orThanksgiving week.

A good review suggestion to check your understanding- page 282- 283 practice problems.

 

 

13

Remember- use your drops- I am on the pool deck for CP!

 

 

VSEPR & Molecular Geometry

Read Chapter 10

All about shapes and what determines the shape of a molecule.

 

14

Quiz on Lewis Structures!

Lewis Structures only- use all the practice problems

15 16

17

Went over quiz!

Please pick up from my desk if you do not have yours from being on Spanich trip

18

Requiz on Lewis structures

19

VSEPR

Reminder of what determines three dimensional shape of a simple molecule

 Look at central atom

What groups are attached - keeping both lone pairs and other atoms- count 'em and remember you need to place them in space with the least repulsion possible.

Review the ppt- VSPER PPT

REview the links above

And attempt to do the geometry predictions within the ppt.

Study for the test! See all the link above for more practice and help reviewing the material

20

Vespr Shapes continued

We did Candy version of molecular geometry. You should have turned the page with all the drawings of the structures. The angles should be labeled as well as the geometry of the molecule.

I am not sure that I got all of section 1/2 papers so please turn them in to the sub.

Section 5/6 will be

There will not be a test for ANY classes tomorrow. I was discouraged from giving a test since I would not be here. Sorry.

You may schedule the test for either day next week. Again apologies.

Review the ppt's and links above for test review for Monday or Tuesday. Whenever you decide to take the test.

21

ALL CLASSES TESTS ARE MOVED TO MONDAY.

Please work on review sheet that was given out yest. The sub will have the answers to the multiple choice.

You should work quietly in small groups.
