  5. Molecules that don’t obey rules .. : : F B F F Case 2. Incomplete octets .. .. : H - Cl : .. .. : : ..

  6. Molecules that don’t obey rules Case 3. Expanded Octets e.g. Phosphorus [Ne] 3s2 3p3 e.g. Sulfur [Ne] 3s2 3p4 e.g Xenon [Ne] 3s2 3p6 3d sublevel is close in energy to 3p!

  7. Molecules that don’t obey rules Cl F Cl F F Cl P S Cl F F Cl F Case 3. Expanded Octets 10 electrons! 12 electrons!

  8. Molecules that don’t obey rules F F Case 3. Expanded Octets : : Xe F F 12 electrons!

  9. Predicting Molecular Shapes VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) - Electron clouds repel one another - Terminal atoms move as far apart as possible - Distinctive geometry results

  10. VSEPR Step 1. - count the number of total electron pairsaround the central atom - count # Bonding Pairs count # Nonbonding or Lone Pairs Step 2. Predict the shape!
