Valence Bond Theory
• Extends the Lewis concept of electron pair bonds by introducing the notion of orbital overlap and hybridization.
• Hybridization is necessary to account for molecular geometry predicted by VSEPR
• Hybrid atomic orbitals are constructed by making linear combinations (sums and differences) between hydrogen-like orbitals in the valence shell of each atom

Hybridization
• Example: BeH2
• Linear Molecule, equivalent Be-H bonds• Symmetry Adapted Linear Combination (SALC)
of hydrogen-like atomic orbitals in the valence shell of Be
• Basis set consists of: 2s, 2px, 2py, 2pz
• Only 2s and 2px are mixed; 2py and 2pz retain their original form.
• “ideal” hybrids ½ s, ½ p character • Energetic “cost” of hybridization (promotion
energy) is offset by formation of stronger bonds

Bonding Description
• Valence electrons of each atom are distributed among the available orbitals.
• In this case, the two valence electrons of Be are placed in the sp hybrid orbitals; the remaining p orbitals are vacant.
• Each H atom has one electron in the 1s orbital.
• Orbitals of each atom overlap to form electron pair bonds.

VBT description of H2O
• Oxygen has sp3 hybridization
• Ideal tetrahedral angle is 109.5o
• Observed bond angle in H2O is ~ 105o
• This indicates that hybrids involved in O-H bonding orbitals have more p-character
• Lone-pair orbitals on oxygen have more s-character

Molecular Orbital Theory• Fundamentally different than VBT• Valence atomic orbitals of all atoms in the
molecule form the basis set• For convenience, orbitals on symmetry-related
atoms are combined into symmetry-adapted linear combinations called ligand group orbitals (LGOs)
• Atomic orbitals on central atom are mixed with LGOs to generate molecular orbitals (MOs)
• In the final step, valence electrons are placed into MOs starting at lowest energy

Molecular Orbitals of H2
• Basis set of orbitals consists of only the 1s orbital on each H-atom
• Linear combinations of these orbitals produce two molecular orbitals
• + combination gives bonding orbital (1s) (constructive interference between wavefunctions
• - combination gives antibonding orbital *(1s) (destructive interference)

Effect of s-p interactionFor atoms early in the 2nd period, energy separation between 2s and 2porbitals is small. This allows mixing of (2s) and (2p) orbitals thatraises the energy of the s(2p) orbital above that of the (2p)

MO diagram for O2 and F2Later in the period, the energy separation of the 2s and 2p orbitalsIs greater (decreasing s-p interaction), so (2p) drops below (2p)
