Pair your accounts. Your Mendeley pairing has expired. Water is central to life and the biochemical processes taking place in living organisms. With the majority of the earth's surface covered with water, its properties have a huge impact upon the planetary environment permitting and sustaining the development of the biosphere.
One of the major themes of general chemistry - which also illustrates how chemistry relates to everyday life - is the correlation of the properties of substances and processes that we observe - often with our unaided senses - on a macroscopic scale with the nature of matter and energy at the ultra-microscopic scale of atoms and molecules.
In fact, the structures of atoms and the molecules they form, and events occurring at the atomic and molecular level are fundamental in explaining the observations of chemistry in the macroscopic realm.
Thus, for water the nature of the chemical bonds between an oxygen and two hydrogen atoms determine the characteristics of the water molecule. This in turn permits an analysis of the intermolecular forces between water molecules and interactions between water and other chemical species.
From these molecular level features, an account can be made for physical and chemical properties of water in bulk, such as its relatively high values for melting and boiling points, heat capacity, surface tension, and dielectric constant; its ability to act as a solvent for a great variety of substances and as a medium for all kinds of chemical reactions, including those involving acids and bases, for which water itself has a propensity to participate in.
To start with, let us generate a Lewis structure for the water molecule based on its molecular formula, H 2 O. The Lewis symbols for the elements are shown in panel a below: Oxygen has six valence electrons, and hydrogen only one. Panel b shows how to put the three atoms together to form a complete octet for the central oxygen atom. Hydrogen, as a period 1 element, can only accommodate two electrons in its valence shell, and forms only one bond.
In panel c , we have applied the symbolic convention that two shared electrons that form a chemical bond between atoms can be represented by a line. With a valid Lewis structure, we can infer molecular geometry of the water molecule. The octet about the central oxygen can be viewed as being made up of four electron domains, two bonding pairs and two non-bonding "lone pairs".
Application of VSEPR theory to this configuration leads to the conclusion that these four electron domains are - to a first approximation - arrayed about the central oxygen in a tetrahedral pattern. The main conclusion that follows is that the arrangement of atoms in the H-O-H molecule is not linear, but bent, with the bond angle expected to be close to the tetrahedral value, Since the lone pairs spread negative charge over a greater volume than bonding pairs, electrostatic repulsion drives the bonding pairs a little closer together, so the actual bond angle should be a little less than As we'll show below, we can also use the Lewis structure to analyze whether the water molecule has polarity.
What we refer to as "molecular shape" is what we see when we look only at the atoms that make up the molecule. Experimental techniques such as X-ray crystallography that can locate the positions of the atoms in molecules reveal the shape of the water molecule.
The diagrams below represent the experimentally determined molecular shape. In agreement with our analysis using the Lewis formalism, water's shape is angular, or bent, with an H-O-H bond angle of This is consistent with a roughly tetrahedral orientation of four electron domains about the central oxygen, two bonding pairs and two non-bonding "lone pairs".
We expect the concentration of negative charge to be on the oxygen, the more electronegative atom, and positive charge on the two hydrogens. This charge polarization allows H 2 O to hydrogen-bond to other polarized or charged species, including other water molecules.
Their vector sum is zero, so CO2 therefore has no net dipole. Hence the vector sum is not zero, and H2O has a net dipole moment. Other examples of molecules with polar bonds are shown in Figure 2. In molecular geometries that are highly symmetrical most notably tetrahedral and square planar, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral , individual bond dipole moments completely cancel, and there is no net dipole moment.
Although a molecule like CHCl 3 is best described as tetrahedral, the atoms bonded to carbon are not identical. Consequently, the bond dipole moments cannot cancel one another, and the molecule has a dipole moment.
Due to the arrangement of the bonds in molecules that have V-shaped, trigonal pyramidal, seesaw, T-shaped, and square pyramidal geometries, the bond dipole moments cannot cancel one another. Consequently, molecules with these geometries always have a nonzero dipole moment. Figure 9: Molecules with Polar Bonds. Individual bond dipole moments are indicated in red.
For each three-dimensional molecular geometry, predict whether the bond dipoles cancel.
