Shape
The electrons around the atoms in a molecule repel each other. They move to be as far apart as possible while still maintaining the bonding within the molecule.
The procedure for using the model is as follows:
1) Determine the correct Lewis structure for the molecule. If it is a diatomic (has only two atoms) it is linear. If it has 3 or more atoms continue with step 2.
2) Count the number of electron groups around the central atom. A group of electrons is a bond, a nonbonding electron pair, or occasionally an unpaired
nonbonding electron. Each triple or double bond counts as only one group for the purposes of this model.
3) Based on this number of groups around the central atom the molecule falls into one of three basic categories. Within each category there are a number of
different names for the shapes depending upon the number of atoms and nonbonding groups around the central atom.

Intermolecular Forces
One type of intermolecular force…
What is a dipole?
Partially positive charge is represented by ________ and partially negative charge is represented
by ___________________________________________.
How do we determine which side of a molecule is partially negative and which is partially
positive?
You and your lab partner should make a molecular model of OCl2. When you have it, you’re your
teacher check. Draw a Lewis structure of your model below, including partial charges:
The other group at the same lab table should have the same molecule as you. These molecules are
going to interact with one another in some way. Using both of your models, orient the molecules
so that they interact (hint: think about partially positive and partially negative charges). When
you have it, have your teacher check. Draw Lewis structures of these two models interacting
below, including partial charges:
Also, draw this sketch on the whiteboard provided so we can compare.
The force occurring between these molecules is an example of an intermolecular force.
These intermolecular forces are called ______________________.
What kind of molecules will use these kinds of intermolecular forces? _______________
Page 30
A second kind of intermolecular force…
You and your lab partner should make a molecular model of H 2O. When you have it, have your
teacher check. Draw a Lewis structure of your model below, including partial charges:
The other group at the same lab table should have the same molecule as you. These molecules are
going to interact with one another in some way. Using both of your models, orient the molecules
so that they interact (hint: think about partially positive and partially negative charges). When
you have it, have our teacher check. Draw Lewis structures of these two models interacting
below, including partial charges:
Also, draw this sketch on the whiteboard provided so we can compare.
These intermolecular forces are very similar to the intermolecular force on the previous page.
What is different about them?
There are three very electronegative atoms commonly found in molecules utilizing this
intermolecular force. They are _____________, ______________, and _____________.
These intermolecular forces are called ___________________. In spite of its misleading name, it is not
a covalent bond…it is an intermolecular force.
The boiling point of water is 100 oC. The boiling point of oxygen dichloride is much less. What
does this tell you about the relative strength of these new intermolecular forces compared to the
dipole-dipole forces?
Page 31
A third kind of intermolecular force…
You and your lab partner should make a molecular model of Cl2. When you have it, have your
teacher check. Draw a Lewis structure of your model below:
You might have noticed that this molecule does not have partial charges. There is an
intermolecular force present, we just have to think about how it happens.
Think about electrons. They are always moving. Is there a way a molecule can become a
temporary dipole? How can a molecule become a temporary dipole?
Draw a Lewis structure of your newly formed temporary dipole (include partial charges):
The other group at the same lab table should have the same molecule as you. These molecules are
going to interact with one another in some way. Your temporary dipole will cause, or induce
another molecule to become another temporary dipole. Using both of your models, orient the
molecules so that they interact. When you have it, have your teacher check. Draw three sets of
lewis structures of these two models interacting below:
Two normal Cl2 molecules
One temporary Cl2 dipole with a normal Cl2 molecule
Temporary Cl2 dipole causing an induced Cl2 dipole
Also, draw this sketch on the whiteboard provided so we can compare.
Page 32
These intermolecular forces are called ____________________________. All molecular substances have
dispersion forces. So the examples above, OCl2 and H2O, also have dispersion intermolecular
forces as well as dipole-dipole and hydrogen-bonding intermolecular forces respectively.
Something interesting should be considered about molecules utilizing only dispersion forces.
F2 and Cl2 are gases, yet Br2 is a liquid, and I2 is a solid at room temperature. They all are nonpolar
molecules, so they must have only dispersion intermolecular forces. Why do they exist in different
states of matter if they all have the same type of intermolecular force?
Let’s draw a flowchart to help us determine which type(s) of intermolecular forces occur
for specific molecules.
Page 33
Now let’s try an example.
What kind of intermolecular force(s) is/are present for NH3?
Draw Lewis structures of two molecules of NH3 including partial charges if necessary.
Explain your answer.
Now let’s try one more example.
What kind of intermolecular force(s) is/are present for CHF3?
Draw Lewis structures of two molecules of CHF3 including partial charges if necessary.

Lab 4: Drops on a Penny Lab
“A penny is a lot of money if have not got a penny.” –Yiddish proverb
Target  - Define and explain the relationship of surface tension to intermolecular forces.
Introduction – The forces within water that are responsible for surface tension originate at the
molecular level. As you know, a water molecule is polar. The oxygen atom has a partial negative
charge, and each hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge. As a result, electrical attractions
occur between the oxygen atom of one molecule and the hydrogen atom of another molecule.
These intermolecular attractive forces are called hydrogen bonds.
Procedure:
1. Predict how many drops of water a Heads-Up penny will hold
and record in the table below.
2. Count how many drops it will actually hold.
3. Record your data.
4. Dry the penny off each time & repeat 3 more times.
5. Average the number of drops and record.
6. Draw what the penny looked like with the drops on it.
7. Repeat using the soap solution.

Lab 5: Solids Lab
“Oh that this too, too solid flesh should melt…” –Hamlet (William Shakespeare)
Purpose: To classify a number of compounds into groups based on their physical properties.
Theory: Compounds can be categorized according to their physical properties. These properties can
be determined by subjecting the compounds to certain physical tests. These tests include electrical
conductivity, solubility in polar and nonpolar solvents, melting point, hardness, flexibility, volatility.
In this lab experience, you will classify eight compounds. It will be your responsibility to determine
what type of substance each material is. Once you have determined the type of substance (Ionic, Polar
Covalent, Non-polar covalent, Covalent Crystal or Metallic), then provide a paragraph explaining
why you classified the substance into that group.
Procedure: Subject each of the compounds to all of the following seven tests:
1. Volatility: Smell (WAFT!) the compound. A strong smell is the mark of a high
volatility.
2. Electrical Conductivity of Solid: Test the electrical conductivity of the solid
with a conductivity tester. If the light goes on or the buzzer buzzes, the compound
conducts electricity.
3. Solubility: Take a couple crystals of the material in a small test tube and see if it
dissolves in water, which is a polar solvent. If the material does dissolve in water,
then test it for solution conductivity (see next step of directions.)
Front Desk Demo: The crystals that did not dissolve in water will be on display at
the teacher’s desk in mineral oil. Observe if the crystals dissolved in mineral oil,
which is non-polar. If the material dissolved in mineral oil, then test the solution for
conductivity.
4. Electrical Conductivity of Solution: If the solid dissolves in a solvent, test the
electrical conductivity of that solution. (If a solid doesn’t dissolve in a solvent, this
test doesn’t apply.) Make sure you test the solvent for electrical conductivity to make
sure that any conductivity seen is due to the compound, not the solvent.)
5. Hardness: Try to grind a few crystals of the solid using a mortar and pestle.
Describe what happens to the compound.
6. Melting Point: Place a small amount of the solid on an evaporating dish. Place the
evaporating dish on a hot plate. If the compound melts quickly, it indicates a low
melting point.
Discussion/Conclusion:
The substances tested represent ionic bonds, metallic bonds or covalent (molecular) bonds. For
covalent compounds, you must identify whether the intermolecular bonding is network solid,
Van der Waals: dispersion forces or dipole interaction. Determine which bond type each of your
tested materials represents. Describe the characteristics you used to determine their bond type.
That is, summarize each substances physical properties. Describe what factors might contribute to
different classification systems or for errors in classifying substances within your system.

Add approximately 25 ml of 1 M zinc chloride solution to the beaker containing the zinc.
Note: If beaker already contains solution, just add enough to reach 25 ml.
5.
Slide the two pennies into the beaker containing the zinc and zinc chloride solution.
Cover with watch glass and gently heat until boiling.
6.
Continue heating until both pennies have a change in appearance (2-5 minutes).
7.
Fill a small beaker with distilled water.
8.
With forceps or tongs, remove the two pennies from the solution. Remove beaker from
heat. Place both pennies in the beaker of distilled water. Record observations.
9.
Using forceps or tongs, remove the coins from the beaker of water. Rinse under running
water, then dry gently with a paper towel.
10.
Briefly heat one of the coins by placing on the hot surface of the hot plate for 10-20
seconds. Watch for a change in appearance and then remove. Do not overheat.
11.
Immediately immerse the heated coin in the beaker of distilled water. Record
observations.
12.
Remove coin from water and dry.
13.
Turn off hot plate. Do NOT dump the solution.
Questions:
1.
Compare the colors of the coins—untreated, heated in zinc chloride solution only, and
heated on hot plate. How are the coins different than they were originally? How are they
different from one another?
2.
Draw pictures of all three coin conditions at the atomic level which would explain the
difference in their appearance.

Summary Notes on Bonding
Bonding is the foundation of all chemical reactions! How chemists define binds in changing, so some
of this material may go against what you heard before – and it may change again before you hit
college! These notes are designed to supplement your self-inquiry labs and book reading. Remember,
models are simplified versions of reality; just because they can’t explain everything all the times
does not mean they are without value.

Description

“Transfer” of electrons from a metal to a non-metal.

Electrons are not truly abandoned by the metal, but
rather they “live” much closer to nucleus of the non-metal.

Unequal sharing of electrons, resulting in a dipole moment

Partial (+) and partial (-) charge imparted on atoms.

Equal sharing of electrons between identical atoms or
atoms with similar electronegativities.
Electronegativity
The relative ability of an atom to attract shared electrons to itself (how strong they “pull”).
o
o
Electronegativity of atoms decreases as you go down a group
Electronegativity of atoms increases as you go across a period.
Bonds: Polar or Non-polar?
A bond’s polarity depends on the difference in electronegativity between the participating
atoms. High difference = polar bond; low/no difference = non-polar bond.
Molecules: Polar or Non-polar?
A good rule of thumb:
o
If the molecule is symmetrical, then it’s non-polar.
o
If the molecule is asymmetrical, it’s most likely polar.
You can also check for things like number of polar vs. non-polar bonds and the absence
or presence of strong functional groups.
Lewis Dot Structures
A model which represents molecules so you can see how the valence electrons are arranged.
There are only three rules for drawing Lewis Dot Structures:
1. Only valence electrons are used, and all appear as shared (covalent) or unshared pairs
2. Duet Rule – Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium and Beryllium are stable in a molecule when
they share or “see” two electrons.
3. Octet Rule – Most other elements need to “see” 8 electrons to be stable in a molecule.
Page 41
Lewis Dot Structures
Some molecules (many, actually) have more than one correct Lewis Dot Structure. These are
called “resonance structures.”
To draw Lewis Dot structures with covalent or polar covalent bonds:
1.
Chemistry loves Symmetry! Start by choosing your best “central” atom.
2. Count up every element’s total valence electrons.
3. Draw a basic “single bond” structure, connecting all atoms – make sure you connect as
many atoms as possible to the central atom before connecting them to each other.
4. Do a post-bonding electron inventory, and see how many electrons are still available
(each single bond uses 2 electrons)
5. Distribute all the remaining available electrons around the atoms as unshared pairs.
6. Make sure everyone is happy! (Are the octet or duet rules satisfied?) . If they are,
you’re done! If not, you might have to consider redistributing the electrons in double
or even triple bonds. Some elements will not comply with the octet rule – distribute the
electrons as best you can (Boron, Phosphorus are among the “exception-loving elements!)
7. Check for resonance structures. If more than is correct, draw both!
Molecular Structures
These are three-dimensional arrangements of the atoms in a molecule. The structure requires
the SHAPE and BOND ANGLE.
o
We will study FIVE shapes and SIX different bond angles.
o
VSEPR model tells us structures form to minimize the repulsions between electron pairs,
basically by keeping the pairs as far apart from each other as possible.
To determine molecular structures and bond angles:
1.
Draw the Lewis Dot Structure for the molecule
2. Determine how many electron groups are around the central atom
a.
Unshared pair = 1 group
b. Single bond = 1 group
c. Double bond = 1 group
d. Triple bond = 1 group
3. Determine the number of unshared pairs around the central atom.
4. Use the number of electron groups and the number of unshared pairs to get
the structure and bond angle of your molecule (use the chart below).

We will use CO2 as our example of a simple method for drawing Lewis dot structures.
While this may not work in all cases, it should be adequate the vast majority of the time.

Procedure for Neutral Molecules
1. Determine the total number of valance electrons.
2. Draw a “skeleton” structure of the molecule.
3. Use two valence electrons to form single bonds
between atoms in the skeleton structure.
4. Try to satisfy the octet (or duet) rule for each
atom by distributing the remaining valence
electrons as “non-bonding” electrons.
5.
If any of the octets are incomplete and more electrons remain to be shared, move one
electron per bond per atom to make a double bond.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 as needed until all octets are full.
7. Redraw the dots so that electrons on any given atom are in pairs wherever possible.
There are exceptions, of course! Some molecules require triple bonds. Some molecules have Lewis
Structures that refuse to obey the octet rule and have to settle for being “close enough.”
