Chemistry: Principles and Practice, Chapter 10, Problem 10.118QE , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction:

Lewis structure is used for predicting the shape of molecules.  From the steric number obtained in a Lewis structure, the molecular geometry can be predicted.  VSEPR model can predict the shape of molecules considering their Lewis structure.  Certain rules has to be followed in for the VSEPR model.

  • The molecule will have a shape where there is minimal electrostatic repulsion between the valence‑shell electron pairs.
  • The forces of repulsion between two lone pairs of electrons will be higher than the repulsion between lone pair and bond pair of electrons.  This in turn will be higher than the bond pair‑bond pair of electrons.

The hybridized orbitals and the steric number can be related as shown below;

    Stericnumber=0+3=3

As the steric number is three, the hybridization of carbon atom is sp2.

    Stericnumber=0+4=4

As the steric number is four, the hybridization of carbon atom is sp3.

Two resonance structures do not use the same hybrid orbitals because the hybridization of the carbon atom is different in both.

The concept of valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) is presented in introductory organic chemistry as a way to predict molecular geometries. The idea be- hind VSEPR is that areas of electron density repel each other so that the geometry of bonds and/or lone pairs of electrons around any one atom places these areas as far apart as possible. For four areas of electron density, a tetrahedral geometry is predicted. For three areas of electron density, a trigonal planar geometry is predicted. Two areas of electron density lead to a linear geometry. VSEPR is simply a predictive tool, but in some cases, it gives an incorrect prediction. In these instances, additional insights into bonding are necessary, such as resonance. Interestingly, several important situations are critical to biochemistry where VSEPR breaks down. Two examples are shown here. :O: CH3 H,N H3N CH3 H :0: :0: Histidine The circled nitrogen atoms are predicted by VSEPR to be tetrahedral in geometry because each…
