. _ 7 : Do the atoms in a molecule have a charge? Simplest way of assigning a charge is to use the concept of a formal charge Formal charge on an atom is the charge calculated by assuming all electrons are shared equally between bonded atoms FC = number of valence electrons on atom – number of lone pair electrons on atom -­‐1/2 number of shared electron pairs 8 : = O - Cl : : : : N
: Nitrosyl chloride N atom FC = 5(valence electrons)-4(lp electrons)-1/2(4 shared electrons) = -1
O atom FC = 6(valence electrons)-2(lp electrons)-1/2(6 shared electrons) = +1
Cl atom FC = 7(valence electrons)-6(lp electrons)-1/2(2 shared electrons) = 0

CEM 141 Lecture 22, 3/11/2013 Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory VSEPR Electron pairs around the central atom in a molecule repel one another and get as far away from each other as possible.

Determine shape associated with domains 4. Arrange terminal atoms and lone-­‐pairs to minimize the interac=on energy 5. Determine shape of molecule Number of domains around central atom equals the sum of the number of bonding domains and the number of lone pair domains To find the number of domains around a central atom when no H atoms are involved: divide the number of valence electrons by 8. The integer is then number of bonding domains and the remainder is the number of electrons in the lone pairs.
