  6. The Nitrogen Atom in Ammonia is sp3 Hybridized

  7. sp3 Hybridization The experimentally known structure of CH4 molecule can be explained if we assume that the carbon atom adopts a special set of atomic orbitals. These new orbital are obtained by combining the 2s and the three 2p orbitals of the carbon atom to produce four identically shaped orbital that are oriented toward the corners of a tetrahedron and are used to bond to the hydrogen atoms. Whenever a set of equivalent tetrahedral atomic orbitals is required by an atom, this model assumes that the atom adopts a set of sp3 orbitals; the atom becomes sp3 hybridized.

  25. The Localized Electron Model Three Steps: • Draw the Lewis structure(s) • Determine the arrangement of electron pairs (VSEPR model). • Specify the necessary hybrid orbitals.

  26. Molecular Orbitals (MO) • Analagous to atomic orbitals for atoms, MOs are the quantum mechanical solutions to the organization of valence electrons in molecules. • Molecular orbitals have many of the same characteristics as atomic orbitals, such as they can hold two electrons with opposite spins and the square of the molecular orbital wave function indicates electron probability.

  27. The Combination of Hydrogen 1s Atomic Orbitals to Form Molecular Orbitals

  28. The Molecular Orbitals for H2

  29. Types of MOs • bonding: lower in energy than the atomic orbitals from which it is composed. Electrons in this type of orbital will favor the molecule. • antibonding: higher in energy than the atomic orbitals from which it is composed. Electrons in this type of orbital will favor the separated atoms.

  33. Bond Order (BO) • Difference between the number of bonding electrons and number of antibonding electrons divided by two. • Bonds order is an indication of bond strength. Large bond order means greater bond strength.

  35. Bonding in Homonuclear Diatomic Molecules In order to participate in MOs, atomic orbitals must overlap in space. (Therefore, only valence orbitals of atoms contribute significantly to MOs.)

  46. Outcomes of MO Model • As bond orderincreases, bond energy increases and bond length decreases. • Bond order is not absolutely associated with a particular bond energy. • N2 has a triple bond, and a correspondingly high bond energy. • O2 is paramagnetic. This is predicted by the MO model, not by the LE model, which predicts diamagnetism.

  47. Combining LE and MO Models •  bonds can be described as being localized. •  bonding must be treated as being delocalized.
