Water has two lone pairs and two bond pairs of electrons.

(b) Nitrogen can only form one chloride, NCl3, while phosphorus can form two chlorides, PCl3 and PCl5. Explain briefly.
Answer
(b) The electronic configuration of nitrogen is 1s22s22px12py12pz1. Its outermost shell electrons are filled in the second quantum shell. There are no lowlying d orbitals available for nitrogen to expand octet. It has a maximum of three half-filled p orbitals to form three bonds, i.e. NCl3.
90
(b) The ground state electronic configuration of phosphorus is 1s22s22p63s23px13py13pz1. It has three half-filled p obitals for bond formation. Thus, three chlorine atoms can form bonds with it to give PCl3. After promoting one 3s electron to the low-lying d orbitals, the excited state electronic configuration of phosphorus becomes 1s22s22p63s13px13py13pz13d1. It now has five half-filled orbitals available for bond formation. Therefore, five chloride atoms can form bonds with it to give PCl5.

Why do two atoms bond together? How does covalent bond strength compare with ionic bond strength?
They are of similar strength. For example, the lattice enthalpy of NaCl is 771 kJ mol1 while the HH bond enthaly is 436 kJ mol1 . It is a misconception that ionic bond must be stronger (or weaker) than covalent bond.

8.6 Bond Enthalpies, Bond Lengths and Covalent Radii (SB p.230)
Why does the covalent radius of a given element change from one compound to another compound?
The size of an atom (its covalent radius) is not fixed. It is because the size of an atom is determined by its electron cloud which has a diffuse shape. In different compounds, the electron cloud of a given atom may vary slightly due to the different internal environment (i.e. the atom that is bonded to).

The atomic radius of H is the same in the three molecules, so the bond lengths of the molecules depend on the size of the N, O and F atoms. N, O and F are in the same period in the Periodic Table. Since atomic sizes decrease across a period owing to the increase in effective nuclear charge, the bond lengths of the three molecules decrease accordingly.

Answer (b) This can be explained by the valence shell electron pair repulsion
The central oxygen atom in H2O has two lone pairs and two bond pairs of electrons while the central nitrogen atom in NH3 has one lone pair and three bond pairs of electrons. The electrostatic repulsion between electron pairs decreases in this order: lone pair and lone pair > lone pair and bond pair > bond pair and bond pair Thus, the bond angle of H2O is less than that of NH3.

What are the shapes of a H2S molecule and a H3O+ ion? Explain their shapes in terms of the valence shell Answer electron pair repulsion theory.
H2S molecule is V-shaped. In H2S molecule, there are two bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons in the outermost shell of the central sulphur atom. All three types of electrostatic repulsion (lone pair lone pair, lone pair bond pair, bond pair bond pair) are present. The two lone pairs will stay the furthest apart and the separation between the lone pair and a bond will be greater that that between the two bond pairs. Therefore, the H S H bond angle in the H2S molecule is about 104.5 instead of 109.5 in tetrahedron.
121
H3O+ ion has a trigonal pyramidal shape. In H3O+ ion, the central oxygen atom forms two covalent bonds with two hydrogen atoms respectively. Also, one dative covalent bond is formed between the oxygen atom and the remaining hydrogen ion. We can regard the central oxygen atom has three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons. According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory, the lone pair will stay further away from the three bond pairs. The three bond pairs are in turn compressed closer together. Thus, the H O H bond angles in the H3O+ ion are about 107 instead of 109.5 in tetrahedron.
