• Lewis structures and VSEPR do not explain why a bond forms. How do we account for shape in terms of quantum mechanics?
• What are the orbitals that are involved in bonding?
• We use Valence Bond Theory:• Bonds form when orbitals on atoms overlap.
• A covalent bond forms when the orbitals of two atoms overlap and the overlap region, which is between the nuclei, is occupied by a pair of electrons.
• There are two electrons of opposite spin in the orbital overlap.

• As two nuclei approach each other their atomic orbitals overlap.
• As the amount of overlap increases, the energy of the interaction decreases.
• At some distance the minimum energy is reached.• The minimum energy corresponds to the bonding
distance (or bond length).• As the two atoms get closer, their nuclei begin to repel
and the energy increases.
Covalent Bonding and Orbital Overlap
Chapter 9Prentice Hall © 2003
• At the bonding distance, the attractive forces between nuclei and electrons just balance the repulsive forces (nucleus-nucleus, electron-electron).
Covalent Bonding and Orbital Overlap

• Atomic orbitals can mix or hybridize in order to adopt an appropriate geometry for bonding.
• Hybridization is determined by the electron domain geometry.
sp Hybrid Orbitals
• Consider the BeF2 molecule (experimentally known to exist):
Hybrid Orbitals
Chapter 9Prentice Hall © 2003
sp Hybrid Orbitals• Be has a 1s22s2 electron configuration.
• There is no unpaired electron available for bonding.
• We conclude that the atomic orbitals are not adequate to describe orbitals in molecules.
• We know that the F-Be-F bond angle is 180 (VSEPR theory).
• We also know that one electron from Be is shared with each one of the unpaired electrons from F.
Hybrid Orbitals
Chapter 9Prentice Hall © 2003
sp Hybrid Orbitals• We assume that the Be orbitals in the Be-F bond are 180
apart.• We could promote and electron from the 2s orbital on Be to the
2p orbital to get two unpaired electrons for bonding.• BUT the geometry is still not explained.
• We can solve the problem by allowing the 2s and one 2p orbital on Be to mix or form a hybrid orbital.
• The hybrid orbital comes from an s and a p orbital and is called an sp hybrid orbital.
Hybrid Orbitals
Chapter 9Prentice Hall © 2003
sp Hybrid Orbitals• The lobes of sp hybrid orbitals are 180º apart.• Since only one of the Be 2p orbitals has been used in
hybridization, there are two unhybridized p orbitals remaining on Be.

Hybrid Orbitals
The number of hybrid orbitals obtained equals the number of atomic orbitals mixed.
The type of hybrid orbitals obtained varies with the types of atomic orbitals mixed.

Hybridization Involving d Orbitals• Since there are only three p-orbitals, trigonal bipyramidal
and octahedral electron domain geometries must involve d-orbitals.
• Trigonal bipyramidal electron domain geometries require sp3d hybridization.
• Octahedral electron domain geometries require sp3d2 hybridization.
• Note the electron domain geometry from VSEPR theory determines the hybridization.

2. Determine the electron domain geometry with VSEPR.

Multiple Bonds
-Bonds: electron density lies on the axis between the nuclei.
• All single bonds are -bonds. -Bonds: electron density lies above and below the plane
of the nuclei.• A double bond consists of one -bond and one -bond.• A triple bond has one -bond and two -bonds.• Often, the p-orbitals involved in -bonding come from
unhybridized orbitals.

Multiple Bonds
• When triple bonds form (e.g. N2) one -bond is always above and below and the other is in front and behind the plane of the nuclei.
Chapter 9Prentice Hall © 2003
Multiple Bonds
Consider acetylene, C2H2
• the electron pair geometry of each C is linear;
• therefore, the C atoms are sp hybridized;
• the sp hybrid orbitals form the C-C and C-H -bonds;
• there are two unhybridized p-orbitals;
• both unhybridized p-orbitals form the two -bonds;
• one -bond is above and below the plane of the nuclei;
• one -bond is in front and behind the plane of the nuclei.

Multiple Bonds
Delocalized Bonding• So far all the bonds we have encountered are localized
between two nuclei.• In the case of benzene
• there are 6 C-C bonds, 6 C-H bonds,• each C atom is sp2 hybridized,• and there are 6 unhybridized p orbitals on each C
atom.
Chapter 9Prentice Hall © 2003
Multiple Bonds
Delocalized Bonding• In benzene there are two options for the 3 bonds
• localized between C atoms or• delocalized over the entire ring (i.e. the electrons
are shared by all 6 C atoms).• Experimentally, all C-C bonds are the same length in
benzene.• Therefore, all C-C bonds are of the same type (recall
single bonds are longer than double bonds).
Chapter 9Prentice Hall © 2003
Multiple Bonds
General Conclusions• Every two atoms share at least 2 electrons.• Two electrons between atoms on the same axis as the
nuclei are bonds. -Bonds are always localized.• If two atoms share more than one pair of electrons, the
second and third pair form -bonds.• When resonance structures are possible, delocalization is
also possible.
Chapter 9Prentice Hall © 2003
Molecular Orbitals
• Some aspects of bonding are not explained by Lewis structures, VSEPR theory and hybridization. (E.g. why does O2 interact with a magnetic field?; Why are some molecules colored?)
• For these molecules, we use Molecular Orbital (MO) Theory.
• Just as electrons in atoms are found in atomic orbitals, electrons in molecules are found in molecular orbitals.

The Central Themes of MO Theory
A molecule is viewed on a quantum mechanical level as a collection of nuclei surrounded by delocalized molecular orbitals.
Atomic wave functions are summed to obtain molecular wave functions.
If wave functions reinforce each other, a bonding MO is formed (region of high electron density exists between the nuclei).
If wave functions cancel each other, an antibonding MO is formed (a node of zero electron density occurs between the nuclei).

Molecular Orbitals
• Molecular orbitals:• each contain a maximum of two electrons;
• have definite energies;
• can be visualized with contour diagrams;
• are associated with an entire molecule.
The Hydrogen Molecule• When two AOs overlap, two MOs form.
Chapter 9Prentice Hall © 2003
Molecular Orbitals
The Hydrogen Molecule• Therefore, 1s (H) + 1s (H) must result in two MOs for
H2:
• one has electron density between nuclei (bonding MO);
• one has little electron density between nuclei (antibonding MO).
• MOs resulting from s orbitals are MOs. (bonding) MO is lower energy than * (antibonding)
MO.
Chapter 9Prentice Hall © 2003
Molecular Orbitals
The Hydrogen Molecule• Energy level diagram or MO diagram shows the energies
and electrons in an orbital.• The total number of electrons in all atoms are placed in
the MOs starting from lowest energy (1s) and ending when you run out of electrons.• Note that electrons in MOs have opposite spins.
• H2 has two bonding electrons.
• He2 has two bonding electrons and two antibonding electrons.

Second-Row Diatomic Molecules
Electron Configurations and Molecular Properties
• Two types of magnetic behavior:• paramagnetism (unpaired electrons in molecule): strong
attraction between magnetic field and molecule;
• diamagnetism (no unpaired electrons in molecule): weak repulsion between magnetic field and molecule.
• Magnetic behavior is detected by determining the mass of a sample in the presence and absence of magnetic field:
