Big-picture:
When atoms combine to form molecules, their properties change. The structure of a molecule and details of the bonding between its constituent atoms – which can be highly interrelated – directly impact its properties and applications. It is therefore important to understand molecular structure and bonding.
Learning goals:
• Be able to draw Lewis dot structures, assign formal charges, predict molecular geometries (including bond angles), and calculate bond orders for molecules, including hypervalent molecules and ions.
• Describe hypervalent molecules using no-bond resonance.• Understand and articulate how predictions of molecular structure and bonding can be
experimentally verified.• Use the isoelectronic principle to design new molecules and solids.• Rationalize bond strength and chemical reactivity using bond polarity arguments.• Interrelate bond length and bond strength.

Perspective
Conceptually parallels atomic structure – begin with simplest, usually empirical guidelines, then increase the degree of sophistication and the quantitative nature in order to more fully account for all observations
Fully explain what we are able to observe predictions of new “stuff”
Historical development of understanding and describing bonding in molecules – from more simple explanations to more sophisticated ones
Many of these concepts will be familiar – we will likely introduce them from a different perspective, though, and for a more diverse range of systems.
We will also dive deeper into “reality” in these topics and systems than you probably have previously.

Lewis structures
G.N. Lewis: The existence of many molecules can be rationalized by the octet rule, where atoms share electrons so that they have eight valence
electrons – based on s2p6 configuration

Formal charge
Formal charge (distinct from oxidation state or actual charge on the atom): divide bonds equally between atoms, all formal charges add up to the total
charge on the molecule or ion(Accounts for charge distribution within the molecule)
NH3

Formal charge
NO3−
Formal charges must add up to the total charge on the molecule!

Formal charges gone bad…?
Ideal formal charges:
Measure charge distribution on ions or molecules – how?
Real charge distribution – closer to formal charge than oxidation state
Formal charge gives a sense of electron distribution in a molecule
Formal charge helps “check” whether a proposed structure is reasonable

Molecular shapes
The three-dimensional shapes that molecules adopt are central to their function. Consider the role of cis-platin, for example:
Unfortunately it can be difficult to precisely predict molecular shapes, but a very simple formalism – VSEPR theory – provides zero-order “guesses” that
are surprisingly useful
![Page 22: Chemistry 310 - Inorganic Chemistry - Spring 2015 Instructor: Tom Mallouk Office hours TR 1:30-2:30 PM 205 S. Frear Lab Cell phone: 814-571-6115 Office](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d355503460f94a0c984/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
VSEPR theory (Review)
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory uses electron-pair repulsions to rationalize (and, at a zero-order, to predict) molecular shapes
1. Lone pairs and atoms/ligands attached to the central atom determine the coordination number (“CN”)
2. Electron pairs and atoms orient themselves in 3D space to minimize repulsions

Isoelectronic principle (solids)
The isoelectronic principle also extends to solid-state materials
Al Si P S
Ga Ge As Se
In Sn Sb Te
Cd
We can use this principle to design binary semiconductors that mimic Si and Ge, but that have different band gaps (more on that later)

Isoelectronic principle (application)
Consider SiO2 … How could we use the isoelectronic principle to design new solid-state materials that are related to SiO2, but that exhibit acidic sites for
catalysis?
