Lewis Structures
• 1) Only the valence electrons appear in a Lewis structure.
• 2) The line joining two atoms represents a pair of electrons shared between two atoms.– single bond - two shared electrons, one line
– double bond - four shared electrons, two lines
– triple bond - six shared electrons, three lines
• 3) Dots placed next to an atom represent nonbonding electrons.

Problem: Write a Lewis structure for the molecule CHCl3, Chloroform, a molecules that has been used to put people to sleep!Solution: Step 1: Place the atoms next to each other with carbon in the center, since it is the lowest element in a group with more that one electron. Place the others around the carbon in the four locations.Step 2: Count valence electrons.
Step 3: Draw single bonds between the atoms, and subtract 2 electronsper bond. 26 electrons - 8 electrons = 18 electrons.Step 4: Distribute the remaining electron in pairs beginning with the surrounding atoms.Check:

Writing lewis Structures for Molecules with more than one Central atom!
Problem: Write the Lewis structure for Hydrogen peroxide(molecular formul, H2O2 ) an important household bleech. Solution: Step 1. Place the atoms in the best geometry, with the hydrogen atoms having only one bond, they are on the ends or outside, and oxygen can have up to two bonds so put them in the middle.
H O O H
Step 2. Find the sum of electrons: [2 x H(1e-)] + [2 x O(6e-)] = 14e-
Step 3. Add single bonds and subtract 2e- for each bond:
H - O - O - H 14e- - 6e- = 8e-
Step 4. Add the remaning electron in pairs around the oxygen atoms as Hydrogen can only have two!
H - O - O - H...... ..
Check: oxygen has an octet of 8e-
and hydrogen ha sit’s two electrons.
Writing Lewis Structures for Molecules with Multiple Bonds.
Problem: Write lewis structures for Oxygen and Acetylene(C2H2): Plan: We begin with the first 4 steps we have done: placing atoms, counting electrons, placing single bonds, and completing octets, and if needed we finishas follows by placing multiple bonds in the molecules.Solution:
a) For oxygen: O2 O - O ..........
Change one of the lone pairs to a bonding pair. The oxygen on the right has an octet of electrons, while the oxygen aton on the left only has six electrons, so we convert the lone pair to another bondingpair between the two oxygen atoms.
O O..
....
..
b) For Acetylene: C2H2 H - C - C - H.. ..
Neither of the carbon atoms has an octet, or if they are placed around one atom, the other has only 4! so no octet! Therefore place both pairs into forming multiple bonds, a tripple bond! H - C C - H

Writing Lewis Structures - IV
Step 1) Place the atoms relative to each other: For compounds of formula ABn , place the atom with the lower group number in the center, the one that needs more electrons to attain an octet. In NF3 (nitrogen trifluoride), the N (Group 5A) has five electrons so it needs three, whereas F (Group 7A) has seven so it needs only one; thus, N goes in the center with the three F atoms around it.
Step 2) Determine the total number of valence electrons available: For molecules, add up the valence electrons of all atoms (the number of valence electrons equals the A-group number). In NF3, N has five valence electrons, and each F has seven. For polyatomic ions, add one e - for for each negative charge, or subtract one e - for each positive charge.
Writing Lewis Structures - V
Step 3) Draw a single bond from each surrounding atom to the central atom, and subtract two valence electrons for each bond. There must be at least a single bond between bonded atoms.
Step 4) Distribute the remaining electrons in pairs so that each atom obtains eight electrons (or two for H). Place lone pairs on the surrounding (more electronegative) atoms first to give each an octet. If electrons remain, place them around the central atom. Then check that each atom has 8e -.

Problem: Using the bond energies in Table 9.2, calculate the H of the reaction between methane and chlorine and fluorine to give freon-12 (CCl2F2).Plan: Look up the bond energies of the reactants and products in table 9.2, and subtract the product bands from the reactant bonds.Solution:CH4 (g) +2 Cl2 (g) + 2 F2 (g) CF2Cl2 (g) + 2 HF(g) + 2 HCl (g)
Reactant bonds broken: For Methane : 4 mol C - H bonds For Molecular Chlorine : 2 mol Cl - Cl bonds For Molecular Fluorine : 2 mol F - F bonds Product bonds formed: For Freon - 12 : 2 mol C - F bonds , 2 mol C - Cl bonds For HF : 2 mol H - F bonds For HCl : 2 mol H - Cl bonds
Reactant bonds broken: 4 mol C - H bonds = 4 mol x 413 kJ/mol = 1652 kJ 2 mol Cl - Cl bonds = 2 mol x 243 kJ/mol = 486 kJ 2 mol F - F bonds = 2 mol x 159 kJ/mol = 318 kJ H0
bonds broken = _________ Product bonds formed: 2 mol C - F bonds = 2 mol x 453 kJ/mol = 906 kJ 2 mol C - Cl bonds = 2 mol x 339 kJ/mol = 678 kJ 2 molH - F bonds = 2 mol x 565 kJ/mol = 1130 kJ 2 mol H - Cl bonds = 2 mol x 427 kJ/mol = 854 kJ H0

Using VSEPR Theory to Determine Molecular Shape
1) Write the Lewis structure from the molecular formula to see the relative placement of atoms and the number of electron groups.
2) Assign an electron-group arrangement by counting all electron groups around the central atom, bonding plus nonbonding.
3) Predict the ideal bond angle from the electron-group arrangement and the direction of any deviation caused by the lone pairs or double bonds.
4) Draw and name the molecular shape by counting bonding groups and non-bonding groups separately.
