electron pairs around a central atom minimizes
repulsion to produce the lowest-energy orientation.

and lone pairs electrons about a central atom

- Think About It: The molecular geometries are
consistent with VSEPR theory for 3 and 4
electron clouds. It is worth noting that the C
atom always has 4 bonds, but a double bond
counts as only one electron cloud, resulting in a
trigonal planar geometry.

What are the molecular geometries of
the ions: SCN– and NO2– ?
Solve:
SCN–  As the least electronegative element and the one with
the greatest bonding capacity, C is the central atom. Although
there are several possible resonance structures, they all have C
with SN = 2 and no lone pairs. Molecular geometry = linear.
NO2–  With N as the central atom, the Lewis structure has N
with SN = 3 (two bonding pairs and one lone pair). Again,
although there are two possible resonance structures, they both
have the same SN value. Molecular geometry = bent, with bond
angle <120 due to the extra repulsive energy of the lone pair
on N.

hybridization must be sp2.

Molecular Orbital (MO) Theory
• Based on mixing of atomic orbitals of
similar shapes and energies to form
molecular orbitals (MOs) that belong to
the molecule as a whole
• The number of MOs formed is equal to the
number of atomic orbitals combined.
• MOs represent discrete energy states;
orbitals spread out over entire molecule.

Types of Molecular Orbitals
• Bonding orbitals:
• Region of increased electron density between
nuclear centers that hold atoms together
• Are lower in energy (more stable) than atomic
orbitals from which they are formed
• Antibonding orbitals:
• Region of electron density that destabilize
the molecule because they do not increase
electron density between nuclear centers
• Less stable than atomic orbitals from which
they are formed

MO Guidelines
1. The total # of MOs = the # of AOs orbitals
mixed.
2. Orbitals with similar energy/shape mix more
effectively than do those of different
energy/shape.
3. Orbitals of different n (different sizes/energies)
result in less effective mixing.
4. A MO can accommodate two electrons.
5. Electrons fill MO diagrams according to
Hund’s rule.
