molecules The molecule is composed of six carbon atoms in a ring with alternating single and double bonds, and each carbon also bonds to a single hydrogen atom Benzene has two equivalent resonance structures H H H C C H C H H C C C C H C C C C H H H H H C C C C C C H H C H H 2 Each C atom in benzene is sp hybridized, and the sp hybrid orbitals are used to form sigma bonds to two carbon atoms and one hydrogen atom The trigonal planar electron-pair geometry around each carbon atom results in a planar ring structure (Figure 7.3.11) Like ethene, each sp2-hybridized carbon atom in benzene has an unhybridized p orbital that is used to form pi bonds, and the pi bonds lie above and below the plane containing the carbon–carbon and carbon–hydrogen sigma bonds The pi bonding in benzene is more complex than in ethene, however, because of the benzene resonance structures The two equivalent resonance structures for benzene indicate that the molecule does not have three pi bonds that are each localized between two carbon atoms Instead, the six unhybridized p orbitals on carbon form one delocalized pi bonding system that lies above and below the plane of the molecule (Figure 7.3.12) Unit

pi systems in benzene together shows the planar shape of the molecule and the delocalized pi electron density that lies above and below the plane of the molecule (Interactive Figure 7.3.13) Pi bonds form due to overlap of two or more p orbitals, but they can also form from the overlap of p and d orbitals or two d orbitals In ethene, acetylene, allene, and benzene, the number of pi bonds formed by a carbon atom is related to the number of unhybridized p orbitals available on that atom The general relationship between atom hybridization, the number of unhybridized p orbitals, and the number of possible p2p pi bonds is shown in Interactive Table 7.3.1 C H H Sigma and pi bonding in benzene Interactive Table 7.3.1 Relationship between Hybridization and Number of Possible p–p Pi Bonds Number of

bonds in a molecule affects its physical properties For example, acetylene, C2H2, has two pi bonds and reacts with H2, whereas ethane, C2H6, has no pi bonds and does not react with H2 In addition, pi bonds affect the physical shape of a molecule, which relates to the number of possible conformations and isomers a molecule can adopt 182 Unit Molecular Shape and Bonding Theories Copyright 2018 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part WCN 02-200-202 Conformations are the different three-dimensional arrangements of atoms in a molecule that can be interconverted by rotation around single bonds Consider the butane conformations shown in Interactive Figure 7.3.14 Each differs only in the orientation of the right side of the molecule The structures were generated by rotating one half of the molecule with respect to the other half, around the carbon–carbon sigma bond Carbon–carbon sigma bond rotation in butane occurs easily because a sigma bond has bonding electron density directly between two bonded atoms Rotation around a sigma bond does not affect the bonding electrons that lie between the bonded nuclei There is no limit to the number of possible conformations of a butane molecule, and the ends of the molecule rotate freely at room temperature Isomers are two or more substances that have the same chemical formula but have different properties because of the different arrangement of atoms Molecules with pi bonds are one example of compounds that can exist as more than one isomer Consider the bond rotation in a molecule containing a pi bond Because a pi bond has electron density both above and below the internuclear axis, a pi bond cannot rotate freely Rotation around a double bond (a sigma bond and a pi bond) results in breaking the pi bond, a process that requires a significant amount of energy Such free rotation therefore does not happen at room temperature (Interactive Figure 7.3.15) The energy barrier that prevents rotation of pi bonds means that two isomers that differ by rotation about the pi bond will not easily interconvert at room temperature Consider the two possible isomers of 1,2-dichloroethene (Figure 7.3.16) Cl Cl C H C H H cis-1,2-dichloroethene Explore conformations in alkanes Some conformations of butane Interactive Figure 7.3.15 Compare single- and double-bond

ethane and (b) ethene These two structures differ only in the placement of the Cl and H atoms about the C5C double bond In the structure labeled cis, both Cl atoms are on the same side of the double bond, whereas in the structure labeled trans, the Cl atoms are on opposite sides of the double bond These two structures cannot interconvert easily because doing so would require breaking the C3C pi bond; therefore, the two structures represent two unique isomers Unit Molecular Shape and Bonding Theories Copyright 2018 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or

theory is similar in many ways to valence bond theory Bond formation is viewed in a similar manner, where overlapping orbitals on different atoms increase attractive forces between electrons and nuclei The two theories differ, however, in how the resulting orbital combinations are viewed In valence bond theory, orbitals in a molecule are thought to be localized on atoms, with some overlap of the orbitals between bonded nuclei In molecular orbital theory, orbitals in a molecule are thought to be spread out (delocalized) over many atoms Valence bond theory is often referred to as a localized bonding theory, whereas molecular orbital theory is referred to as a delocalized bonding theory One of the most important and unique aspects of molecular orbital theory is its ability to predict the shapes and energies of orbitals that contain no electrons That is, molecular orbital theory explains not only how electrons are arranged in the ground state but also how they might be arranged in an excited electronic state According to molecular orbital theory, when any number of atomic orbitals overlap to form molecular orbitals, an equal number of molecular orbitals are formed When two s orbitals overlap, for example, they form two new orbitals: one at a lower energy than the original s orbitals and one at a higher energy than the original s orbitals Consider the formation of H2 Each H atom has a single electron in a 1s orbital Adding the two 1s orbitals (the 1s wave functions) together results in the formation of a bonding molecular orbital (Figure 7.4.1) that increases the electron density between the bonded nuclei This bonding molecular orbital is a sigma 1s2 molecular orbital because electron density lies along the internuclear axis It is labeled s1s, where the subscript identifies the atomic orbitals that contributed to form the molecular orbital This molecular orbital is lower in energy than the separated hydrogen 1s orbitals because electrons occupying this orbital experience increased attractive forces to the hydrogen nuclei Subtracting the two 1s orbitals (the 1s wave functions) results in the formation of an antibonding molecular orbital (Interactive Figure 7.4.2) that decreases the electron density between the bonded nuclei This bonding molecular orbital is a sigma 1s2 molecular orbital because electron density lies along the internuclear axis It is labeled s*1s, where the asterisk (*) indicates its antibonding nature and the subscript identifies the atomic orbitals that contributed to form the molecular orbital This molecular orbital is higher in energy than the separated hydrogen 1s orbitals because electrons occupying this orbital experience decreased attractive forces to the hydrogen nuclei In addition, the antibonding molecular orbital has a node, a plane on which there is zero probability for finding an electron Unit Molecular Shape and Bonding Theories 1s 1s s-molecular orbital (bonding) Figure 7.4.1

form from the interactions of p orbitals When two 2p orbitals are added and subtracted in a head-on alignment along the internuclear axis, one sigma bonding 1s2p molecular orbital and one sigma antibonding 1s*2p molecular orbital result (Figure 7.4.3) Notice the formation of a new planar node in the antibonding 1s*2p molecular orbital Nodal plane 2pz 7.4b Pi Bonding and Antibonding Molecular Orbitals Just as in valence bond theory, pi 1p2 molecular orbitals result from the sideways overlap of p orbitals When two 2p orbitals are added and subtracted, a pi bonding orbital and a pi antibonding orbital form (Interactive Figure 7.4.4) The p2p molecular orbital is lower in energy than the original 2p orbitals; the p* 2p molecular orbital is higher in energy (less stable) than the original 2p orbitals Because there are two 2p orbitals on each atom that can overlap to form pi bonds, a total of four pi molecular orbitals are possible, two pi bonding molecular orbitals 1p2p and

unoccupied molecular orbitals for a molecule A molecular orbital diagram shows both the energy of the atomic orbitals (from the atoms that are combining) and the energy of the molecular orbitals

the H2 molecular orbital diagram: ●● ●● ●● ●● The atomic orbitals are placed on the outside of the diagram, and the molecular orbitals are placed between the atomic orbitals, in the center of the

will follow the common practice of using the relative molecular orbital energies in Figure 7.4.8(a) for all of the homonuclear diatomic molecules because it correctly predicts the number of bonding

In photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet light or x-rays are used to remove electrons from molecules Assuming the energy levels of an ionized molecule are essentially the same as those in the uncharged molecule, scientists can use photoelectron spectra to understand orbital energies in molecules Lower-energy peaks correspond to higher-energy orbitals because less energy is required to remove electrons in those orbitals The photoelectron spectrum for methane (Interactive Figure 7.4.14) shows two distinct energies, which correspond to the two different energies of the occupied sigma

VSEPR theory, which states that electron pairs (structural and nonbonding) repel one another and are arranged to avoid one another as best as possible (7.1a) Electron-pair geometry is the arrangement of structural electron pairs around the central atom, and molecular geometry is the arrangement of atoms around the central atom (7.1a) For a molecule to be polar, it must contain polar bonds that are arranged so that there is an uneven charge distribution (7.1c) 7.2 Valence Bond Theory and Hybrid Orbitals ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● According to valence bond theory, valence atomic orbitals on adjacent atoms overlap, each pair of overlapping valence orbitals is occupied by two valence electrons to form a chemical bond, and valence electrons are either involved in bonding between two atoms (shared bonding pairs) or reside on a single atom (nonbonding lone pairs) (7.2a) A sigma 1s2 bond is a covalent bond with a bonding region along the internuclear axis (7.2a) Hybrid orbitals are equal-energy orbitals that are a combination of atomic orbitals (7.2b) Hybrid orbitals are used in valence bond theory to explain bonding in complex molecules (7.2b) Four sp3 hybrid orbitals result from “mixing” an atom’s single s and three p valence atomic orbitals The angle between any two sp3 hybrid orbitals is 109.5° (7.2b) Three sp2 hybrid orbitals result from “mixing” an atom’s single s and two of its three p valence atomic orbitals The angle between any two sp2 hybrid orbitals is 120° (7.2c) Two sp hybrid orbitals result from “mixing” an atom’s single s and one of its three p valence atomic orbitals The angle between two sp hybrid orbitals is 180° (7.2d) Five sp3d hybrid orbitals result from “mixing” an atom’s single s, its three p, and one of its d valence atomic orbitals The angle between sp3d hybrid orbitals is 180°, 120°, or 90° (7.2e) Six sp3d2 hybrid orbitals result from “mixing” an atom’s single s, its three p, and two of its d valence atomic orbitals The angle between sp3d2 hybrid orbitals is 180° or 90° (7.2e) 7.3 Pi Bonding ●● ●● A pi 1p2 bond occurs when two orbitals overlap to form a bond where the bonding region is above and below the internuclear axis (7.3a) The number of pi bonds an atom forms is related to the number of unhybridized p orbitals available (7.3c) 192 Unit Molecular Shape and Bonding Theories Copyright 2018 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part WCN 02-200-202 ●● ●● Conformations are the different three-dimensional arrangements of atoms in a molecule that can be interconverted by rotation around single bonds (7.3d) Isomers are two or more substances that have the same chemical formula but have different properties because of the different arrangement of atoms (7.3d) 7.4 Molecular Orbital Theory ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● According to molecular orbital theory, orbitals in a molecule are thought to be spread out (delocalized) over many atoms (7.4a) A bonding molecular orbital has increased electron density between bonded nuclei Bonding molecular orbitals can be either sigma or pi molecular orbitals (7.4a, 7.4b) An antibonding molecular orbital has decreased electron density between bonded nuclei Antibonding molecular orbitals can be either sigma or pi molecular orbitals (7.4a, 7.4b) A molecular orbital diagram shows the relative energy of the molecules atomic (valence) orbitals and molecular orbitals (7.4c) The bond order between two atoms in a molecule can be calculated from the number of electrons in bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals
