Chemical Bonding II The Effect of Lone Pairs
lone pair groups “occupy more space” on the central atom relative sizes of repulsive force interactions is: Lone Pair – Lone Pair > Lone Pair – Bonding Pair > Bonding Pair – Bonding Pair this effects the bond angles, making them smaller than expected

Representing 3-Dimensional Shapes on a 2-Dimensional Surface
Chemical Bonding Representing 3-Dimensional Shapes on a 2-Dimensional Surface one of the problems with drawing molecules is trying to show their dimensionality by convention, the central atom is put in the plane of the paper put as many other atoms as possible in the same plane and indicate with a straight line for atoms in front of the plane, use a solid wedge for atoms behind the plane, use a hashed wedge

Representing 3-Dimensional Shapes on a 2-Dimensional Surface

27
Multiple Central Atoms
many molecules have larger structures with many interior atoms we can think of them as having multiple central atoms when this occurs, we describe the shape around each central atom in sequence e.g. acetic acid shape around left C is tetrahedral shape around center C is trigonal planar shape around right O is tetrahedral-bent
