LEARNING OBJECTIVES Notes
Explain how chemical bonds
are formed. CHEMICAL BONDS
Chemical Bonding / Chemical
What is chemical bonding? Bond
‒ Refers to the force of
attraction between atoms
that are joined together to
make a chemical
compound.
What are the interaction Interaction involving valence
involving valence electrons electrons are responsible for the
responsible for? chemical bond.
Valence Shell Electron Pair
What is VSEPR and what does Repulsion theory (VSEPR)
it stand for? ‒ A model that uses the
repulsion between electron
pairs in a central atom's
valence shell to predict the
three-dimensional shape of
molecules.
REFLECTION
Chemical Bonding refers to the attraction forces between joined atoms that
make up a chemical compound.
VSEPR (Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory) is a model used to
predict the 3D shape of molecules, which also include its repulsion.

VSEPR that states about the strongly than bonding
forces of Lone Pairs and their pairs, which influences
influence in molecular bond angles and molecule
structure? structure.
Significance of VSEPR:

ATOMIC HYBRIDIZATION
When atomic orbitals combine,
How are hybrid orbitals they create new, comparable
formed? hybrid orbitals that are utilized
to
create covalent bonds between
molecules.
REFLECTION
The Basic principles of VSEPR includes: Electron pairs that surrounds a
central atom repel one another, molecules adopt a shape to minimize
repulsion, and lone pairs repel more strongly than bonding pairs.
When atomic orbitals combine, they create hybrid orbitals.
