07Lab | Activity 03: Lewis Structure and VSEPR Theory Objective: The purpose of this experiment is to 1) draw the structural formula for a molecule based on the chemical formula, 2) write the electron dot formula (Lewis Structure) corresponding to the structural formula and 3) construct a computer model of the molecules (VSEPR model). Discussion: The tether between two atoms in a molecule is called a chemical bond. In a covalent bond, two nonmetallic elements bond to each other by sharing valence electrons. The valence electrons are the electrons furthest from the nucleus, and they occupy the highest s or p sublevels (for purpose of this class). The group number of an element indicates the number of valence electrons. For example, fluorine is in Group VIIA/17 and has seven valence electrons (7 e-). Answer the questions below as your read through this activity, and then use the worksheet at the end of this activity to turn in to your instructor. 1. The valence electrons for an atom are obtained from the periodic table. Carbon is found in Group IVA and has 4 valence electrons. Refer to the periodic table and find the family (i.e., Group I) and the number of valence electrons for the following elements: Element N O P Ca Sb Ga Family Valence electrons 2 In this problem set, the Lewis structure is first constructed based on the chemical formula for the molecule. From the chemical formula, the atom connectivity for the structure is established. Given a chemical formula, ABn, A is generally the central atom and the B atoms flank the A atom. i.e., NH3, NCl3, NO2. In these examples, N is central in the atom in the structure and H, Cl and O all flank the nitrogen atom in each molecule. Sometimes there are no central atoms, such as in the case of Cl2, and sometimes there is more than one central atom such in H-O-O-H. In this structure the atom connectivity is H-O-O-H. The two oxygen atoms are considered central. If the chemical formula contains hydrogen (H) or fluorine (F), these atoms are never central. Determine which is the central atom and which are the flanking atoms. The flanking atoms are connected to the central atom. Chemical specie SO - CH PH HCN CH Cl 2 BrO3 4 3 3 Central Atom S Flanking atoms Both O Atomic Connectivity O S O 3 The Lewis structure is completed when all the valence electrons are shown in the structure and all atoms satisfy the octet rule. Note that there are exceptions to this rule that must be taken into account. A tutorial provides the methodology in which this is done. http://faculty.sdmiramar.edu/fgarces/ChemComon/Tutorial/Lewis/LewisTutorial/LewisTutorial.htm http://faculty.sdmiramar.edu/fgarces/ChemComon/Tutorial/Tutorial.htm The following example illustrates the structural formula and electron dot formula for molecular models having single, double and triple bonds. Example 1 The model of a water molecule is shown below. The chemical formula for water is H2O. In box 1, the oxygen is central and the hydrogen atoms flank the oxygen. Box 2 shows a line between the oxygen and hydrogen atom, which represents the bond between the two atoms. A bond forms by two shared electrons, as shown in box 3. Box 4 takes into account all the valence electrons of water (8) and shows that all atoms satisfy the octet rule (hydrogen being satisfied with two). Finally, box 5 shows the molecular geometry of water. The molecular geometry is determined by VSEPR analysis. 1 2 3 4 5 Water, H2O 1 To verify the above Lewis structure, the valence electrons are added from each atom in the molecule. Recall that hydrogen is in Group IA/1 and oxygen is in Group VIA/6. 2 H (2 * 1 e- ) = 2 e- 1 O (1 * 6 e- ) = 6 e- sum of valence electrons 8 e- There are eight dots used to write the electron dot formula. Since this equals the number of valence electrons, the electron dot formula is correct. Example 2 The Lewis structure analysis for chloroform is shown below. Chloroform possesses a total of 26 electrons. 1 H (1 * 1 e- ) = 1 e- 1 C (1 * 4 e- ) = 4 e- 3 Cl (3 * 7 e-) = 21 e- sum of valence electrons 26 e- 1 2 3 4 5 Chloroform, CHCl3 The procedure requires the establishment of the atomic connectivity (2), the addition of electrons to the central atom such that the octet rule is satisfied (3), and completion of the Lewis structure by adding the remaining 18 electrons such that the octet rule is satisfied for all atoms in the structure, excluding H which is satisfied with two electrons. Example 3 The Lewis structure analysis for formaldehyde is shown below. Formaldehyde possesses a total of 12 electrons. 2 H (2 * 1 e- ) = 2 e- 1 C (1 * 4 e- ) = 4 e- 1 O (1 * 6 e- ) = 6 e- Sum of valence electrons 12 e- 1 2 3 4 5 Formaldehyde, H2CO For formaldehyde, two bonds are placed between the carbon and the oxygen in order for the central atom, carbon, to posses an octet (2). Carbon shares a total of eight electrons (3) while the remaining four electrons are added on oxygen so that oxygen too satisfies the octet rule (4). The final Lewis structure shows all 12 valence electrons distributed so that all atoms (except H) satisfy the octet rule. Example: 4 The Lewis structure analysis for hydrogen cyanide is shown below. Hydrogen cyanide possesses a total of 10 electrons. 1 H (1 * 1 e- ) = 1 e- 1 C (1 * 4 e- ) = 4 e- 1 N (1 * 5 e- ) = 5 e- Sum of valence electrons 10 e- 1 2 3 4 5 Hydrogen cyanide, HCN 2 For hydrogen cyanide, three bonds are placed between the carbon and the nitrogen in order for the central atom, carbon, to posses an octet (2). Carbon shares a total of eight electrons (3), while an additional two electrons are added on to nitrogen so that nitrogen too satisfies the octet rule (4). The final Lewis structure shows all 10 valence electrons distributed such that all atoms (except H) satisfy the octet rule. Complete the Lewis structure for the following.

The molecular shape of a molecule can be determined from its chemical formula by applying the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR) analysis. The core assumption of VSEPR is that the valence electrons around the central atom of the molecule are responsible for its shape, via their mutual repulsion; i.e., the shape of the molecule is determined by the arrangement of the central valence electrons which possess the lowest electronic repulsion and, hence, the lowest energy. VSEPR works well for main group covalent compounds and ions, less well for transition metal compounds, and not well at all for ionic compounds. In this class we will work with mostly main group covalent compounds. A terminology, which must be clear, is the distinction made between electronic and molecular geometry. Electronic geometry refers to the distribution of the electron pairs around the central atom. Thus, if a molecule has 3 electron domains (regions of electron density) around its central atom, its electronic geometry is trigonal planar, regardless of how many of the pairs are bonding or are lone pair electrons. Molecular geometry refers to the arrangement of the atoms in the molecule. It is the molecular geometry that influences the physical property of the molecule. The use of VSEPR clearly requires knowledge of how many electron domains (regions of electron density) are around the central atom, and also whether these pairs are bonding or are lone pairs. The simplest method for determining this is to draw the Lewis structure of the molecule and then count the number of electron domains surrounding the central atom. 3 Table 7.1 The application of the VSEPR theory can be summarized by the following table. In this table, A represents the central atom, E represents electron domains, and B represents the bonded atom. A tutorial provides the methodology in which the molecular geometry is determined from VSEPR. http://faculty.sdmiramar.edu/fgarces/ChemComon/Tutorial/VSEPR/VSEPRTutorial/VSEPRTutorial.htm A summary on how to use VSEPR to determine molecular geometry is provided here. A) Determine the Lewis Structure: i) Show valence electrons for each atom in the structure. ii) Determine the number of bonds in the molecule and identify the central atom. B) Determine the electronic geometry (AEn system) from the Lewis structure: i) Count the electron domain (region) around the central atom. ii) Arrange electron domains around the central atom to minimize electron-electron repulsion. This occurs when electron pairs are as far apart as possible. iii) 2-domain yields a linear shape, 3-domains yield a trigonal shape, and 4-domains yield a tetrahedral shape C) Determine the molecule geometry (ABmEn system) from its electronic geometry: i) The molecular geometry is based on the final position of the atoms.

The enantiomeric excesses of the products were disappointingly small. A computer modelling procedure, based on molecular mechanics, was applied in order to understand the results and quantitative agreement with experiment was reasonably good. Silanethiols have been oxidised to the corresponding disulfides and these have been investigated as photochemical sources of silanethiyl radicals.

SiS2, isoelectronic to SiO2, CO2 and CS2, is a material whose phases known Accepted: 03 November 2016 experimentally up to 6 GPa exhibit 1D chain-like, 2D layered and 3D tetrahedral structures. We present Published: 25 November 2016 highly predictive ab initio calculations combined with evolutionary structure search and molecular dynamics simulations of the structural and electronic evolution of SiS2 up to 100 GPa. A highly stable CdI2-type layered structure, which is octahedrally coordinated with space group P31m surprisingly appears between 4 and up to at least 100 GPa. The tetrahedral-octahedral switch is naturally expected upon compression, unlike the layered character realized here by edge-sharing SiS6 octahedral units connecting within but not among sheets. The predicted phase is semiconducting with an indirect band gap of about 2 eV at 10 GPa, decreasing under pressure until metallization around 40 GPa. The robustness of the layered phase suggests possible recovery at ambient pressure, where calculated phonon spectra indicate dynamical stability. Even a single monolayer is found to be dynamically stable in isolation, suggesting that it could possibly be sheared or exfoliated from bulk P31m -SiS2. SiS2 is a member of an important family of group IV-VI AB2 compounds made of light elements including 1–14 15–22 23–27 28–31 well-known materials such as CO2 , SiO2 , GeO2 and CS2 .

SECOND PRINTING, MARCH, 1947 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA To P. G. F. PREFACE The organic compounds of silicon, which have been the subject of many scholarly researches during the past 80 years, at last show promise of emerging from the laboratory and finding a place in industry. An understanding of the behavior of organosilicon materials is necessary to their intelligent use and, inasmuch as the chemistry of these substances ordinarily is not treated in our textbooks, it is possible that a compact yet comprehensive survey of our present knowledge in this field would be of service to chemists, engineers, and industrial designers. This volume has just such a purpose. The first few chapters review the silanes and their derivatives in some detail, in order to provide an understanding of the fundamental chemistry of the nonsilicate com- pounds of silicon. The later chapters emphasize the silicone polymers which have achieved commercial importance and deal with the methods for their preparation, their chemical and physical properties, and their possible usas.

Compounds containing carbon comprise organic chemistry, which has its own system for naming compounds. All other substances are part of inorganic chemistry, which is the focus of most first-year chemistry courses. 3. Different types of inorganic substances have different naming systems. We will begin with the rules for elements, binary covalent compounds, ions, and binary ionic compounds. Naming Elements An element is a substance that contains of only one kind of atom. The name of an element is simply the name of its atoms. Examples • The element comprised of atoms with 20 protons is called calcium. Formulas of metals are written as if they are monatomic elements. The formula for the element calcium is written Ca. • Chlorine atoms, at room temperature, are found in diatomic molecules. For the element chlorine, the formula is written Cl2.
