Presentation Transcript

  1. Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model: Predict the geometry of the molecule from the electrostatic repulsions between the electron (bonding and nonbonding) pairs. The idea here is that the bonding and nonbonding pairs around a given atom will be positioned as far apart as possible. This chart is NOT provided on the AP exam!

  9. In these molecules, the arrangement of the electron pairs predict tetrahedral geometry. Why is the geometry different from predicted? Lone pairs require more room than bonding pairs and tend to compress the angles between the bonding pairs.

F H d- d+ Dipole Moments and Polar Molecules electron rich region electron poor region A molecule such as HF that has a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge is said to have a dipole moment. The dipole moment is often represented by an arrow pointing to the negative charge center with the tail of the arrow indicating the positive center of charge.
