Lewis Structures
What determines molecular shapes?
=> tell us how atoms are physically connected
No information regarding the actual 3-D structure of molecules

Different ways of depicting 3-D structure
bonds in plane of paper
bond in front of the paper plane
bond behind of the paper plane
"Ball and Stick" "Spacefilling"

nonbonding pair
bonding pair
Types of Electron Domains: ● nonbonding (or "lone") electrons● single OR double OR triple bonding
electrons
Lewis structures show number of electron domains
Chapter 9: Molecular Geometry and Bonding TheoriesChapter 9: Molecular Geometry and Bonding Theories
=> Bonding AND non-bonding electron pairs take up space
![Page 6: What determines molecular shape ?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56813566550346895d9ccd48/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Molecular shape depends on electron domain geometry
Lewis Structures tell us …
● where bonds (bonding electron pairs) are
● the location of nonbonding electrons
Bonding AND non-bonding electron pairs take up space

Elements from the 3rd period onward..
● have d -orbitals● can have an expanded valence shell● may have more than 4 electron domains surrounding them
