Valence shell electron pair repulsion
(VSEPR) theory - is a model used in chemistry
to predict the geometry of individual
molecules from the number of electron pairs
surrounding their central atoms.
* hydrocarbons= a compound of hydrogen and carbon
LEWIS DOT STRUCTURE
1. Decide how many valence (outer shell) electrons are posessed by each
atom in the molecule.
2. If there is more than one atom type in the molecule, put the most
metallic or least electronegative atom in the center. Recall that
electronegativity decreases as atom moves further away from fluorine on
the periodic chart.
3. Arrange the electrons so that each atom contributes one electron to a
single bond between each atom.
4. Count the electrons around each atom: are the octets complete? If so,
your Lewis dot structure is complete.
5. If the octets are incomplete, and more electrons remain to be shared,
move one electron per bond per atom to make another bond.
The symmetric shapes are linear, trigonal planar, and
tetrahedral.
The unsymmetric shapes are bent and trigonal pyramidal.
•The symmetric shapes are associated with
molecules whose central atoms have no
lone pairs.
•The unsymmetric shapes are associated
with molecules whose central atoms have
one or more lone pairs.
