, Chemical Bonding:
Using Lewis Structures to
Represent Bonding Molecules:
• Only unpaired electrons tend to take part in bonding.
• Use dots to represent the electrons of one atom and Rules for Determining
crosses to represent the other. Shapes of Molecules:
• Double bond = each atom shares 2 unpaired
Dative Covalent Chemical Bonding: electrons. • How to determine shape of molecule:
• Triple bond = each atom shares 3 unpaired electrons. - Step 1: Draw Lewis structure of molecule.
• Dative covalent bonding = atoms with - Step 2: Identify central atom.

Molecular Shape & VSEPR Theory:
• VSEPR theory predicts molecule shape.
• Electron pairs are arranged around each atom
to maximise the angles between electron pairs.
Structure (B)
•
•
Principles of VSEPR-Theory:
• The shape of the molecule is determined by the total no. and arrangement
of electron pairs around the central atom.
• Electron pairs around the central atom stay as far away from each other as
possible – decrease forces of repulsion.
• Lone pairs can result in distorted shape.
• Strength of repulsion between different electron pairs follow:
lone pair – lone pair > lone pair – bonded pair > bonded pair – bonded pair.
