The Effect of Nonbonding Electrons and Multiple Bonds on Bond Angles
•
•
•
•
Consider three molecules with tetrahedral electron domain geometries:
CH4, NH3, and H2O.
By experiment, the H–X–H bond angle decreases from C (109.5o in CH4) to N (107 o in NH3) to O
(104.5 o in H2O).
•
Since electrons in a bond are attracted by two nuclei, they do not repel as much as lone pairsTherefore,
the bond angle decreases as the number of lone pairs increases.
A bonding pair of electrons is attracted by two nuclei. They do not repel as much as lone pairs which are
primarily attracted by only one nucleus.
• Electron domains for nonbonding electron pairs thus exert greater repulsive forces on adjacent electron
domains.
• They tend to compress the bond angles.
• The bond angle decreases as the number of nonbonding pairs increases.
• Similarly, electrons in multiple bonds repel more than electrons in single bonds. (e.g. in Cl2CO the O–
C–Cl angle is 124.3 o, and the Cl–C–Cl bond angle is 111.4 o).

Molecules with Expanded Valence Shells
•
Consider a trigonal bipyramid:
• The three electron pairs in the plane are called equatorial;
• The two electron pairs above and below this plane are called axial;
• The axial electron pairs are 180 o apart and 90 o to the equatorial electrons;
• The equatorial electron pairs are 120 o apart;
• To minimize electron–electron repulsion, nonbonding pairs are always placed in equatorial positions
and bonding pairs in either axial or equatorial positions.

Shapes of Larger Molecules
•
In acetic acid, CH3COOH, there are three interior atoms: two C and one O.
•
We assign the molecular (and electron-domain) geometry about each interior atom separately:
• The geometry around the first C is tetrahedral;
• The geometry around the second C is trigonal planar; and
• The geometry around the O is bent (tetrahedral).

Practice Exercise 9.3
Predict the H—C—H and C—C—C bond angles in the molecule shown, called propyne.
9.3 Molecular Shape and Molecular Polarity
•
•
If two charges, equal in magnitude and opposite in sign, are separated by a distance d, then a dipole is
established.
The dipole moment, µ, is given by µ = Qr, where Q is the magnitude of the charge.
•
We can extend this to polyatomic molecules.
• For each bond in a polyatomic molecule, we can consider the bond dipole.
• The dipole moment due only to the two atoms in the bond is the bond dipole.
• Because bond dipoles and dipole moments are vector quantities, the orientation of these individual
dipole moments determines whether the molecule has an overall dipole moment.
•
Examples:
• In CO2 each δ+C−Oδ- dipole is canceled because the molecule is linear.
•
•
In H2O, the δ+H−Oδ- dipoles do not cancel because the molecule is bent.
Molecules with polar bonds can be either polar or nonpolar, depending on the molecular geometry.

9.4 Covalent Bonding and Orbital Overlap
•
valence-bond theory:
9.5 Hybrid Orbitals
sp Hybrid Orbitals
•
According to the valence-bond model, a linear arrangement of electron domains implies sp hybridization.
• Since only one of 2p orbitals of Be has been used in hybridization, there are two unhybridized p orbitals
remaining on Be.
• The electrons in the sp hybrid orbitals form shared electron bonds with the two fluorine atoms.

AP Chemistry
Chapter 9. Molecular Geometry and Bonding Theories
Formation of two equivalent Be—F bonds in BeF2.
Each sp hybrid orbital on Be overlaps with a 2p orbital on F to form a bond. The two bonds are equivalent to each other and
form an angle of 180°.
sp2 and sp3 Hybrid Orbitals
•
Three sp2 hybrid orbitals are formed from hybridization of one s and two p orbitals.
• Thus, there is one unhybridized p orbital remaining.
• The large lobes of the sp2 hybrids lie in a trigonal plane.
• Molecules with trigonal planar electron-pair geometries have sp2 orbitals on the central atom.
•
Four sp3 hybrid orbitals are formed from hybridization of one s and three p orbitals.
• Therefore, there are four large lobes.
• Each lobe points towards the vertex of a tetrahedron.
• The angle between the large lobes is 109.5 o
• Molecules with tetrahedral electron pair geometries are sp3 hybridized.

9.6 Multiple Bonds
•
Sigma (σ) bonds: electron density lies on the axis between the nuclei. All single bonds are σ bonds.
•
Pi (π) bonds: electron density lies above and below the plane of the nuclei.
• A double bond consists of one σ bond and one π bond.
• A triple bond has one σ bond and two π bonds.
•
Often, the p orbitals involved in π bonding come from unhybridized orbitals.
•
For example: acetylene, C2H2:
• The electron-domain geometry of each C is linear.
• Therefore, the C atoms are sp hybridized.
• The sp hybrid orbitals form the C–C and C–H σ bonds.
• There are two unhybridized p orbitals on each C atom.
• Both unhybridized p orbitals form the two π bonds;
• One π bond is above and below the plane of the nuclei;
• One π bond is in front and behind the plane of the nuclei.
•
When triple bonds form (e.g., N2), one π bond is always above and below and the other is in front and
behind the plane of the nuclei.

Resonance Structures, Delocalization and π Bonding
•
In the case of benzene:
• There are six C–C σ bonds and six C–H σ bonds
• Each C atom is sp2 hybridized.
• There is one unhybridized p orbital on each carbon atom, resulting in six unhybridized carbon p orbitals
in a ring.

AP Chemistry
Chapter 9. Molecular Geometry and Bonding Theories
•
In benzene there are two options for the three π bonds:
• Localized between carbon atoms or
• Delocalized over the entire ring (i.e., the π electrons are shared by all six carbon atoms).
•
Experimentally, all C–C bonds are the same length in benzene.
• Therefore, all C–C bonds are of the same type (recall single bonds are longer than double bonds).
Sample Exercise 9.7 (p. 366)
Describe the localized π bonding in the nitrate ion, NO3-.
Practice Exercise 9.7
Which of the following molecules or ions will exhibit delocalized bonding? SO3, SO32-, H2CO, O3, NH4+.
General Conclusions
•
•
•
•
•
Every pair of bonded atoms shares one or more pairs of electrons.
Two electrons shared between atoms on the same axis as the nuclei are σ bonds.
σ Bonds are always localized in the region between two bonded atoms.
If two atoms share more than one pair of electrons, the additional pairs form π bonds.
When resonance structures are possible, delocalization is also possible.
