Molecular Geometry Receptor sites for smell interact differently with the two enantiomers Receptor sites are also chiral … Most amino acids, proteins, sugars, etc. in our bodies are present in only one particular chiral form ….. Includes active sites for medicinal drugs … ⇒ The body may react differently to enantiomers of a medicinal drug … Most drugs are initially made as a mixture of enantiomers … refine to become ‘enantiopure’ 3

Molecular Geometry So ,knowledge of molecular geometry (3 - D structures) is very important…. This can be determined, inter alia, by well-established, sophisticated (time-consuming and expensive!) analytical techniques, such as by X- ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy, etc. Is there a simple, quick method of predicting likely structures (shapes) of simple molecules and polyatomic ions? Yes! …We use a simple (non-empirical) geometrical model…. 7
CMY 117 Theme 5 Molecular structure
Molecular Geometry Bonding occurs when there is an overall decrease in energy (stabilization) of the chemical system. This is influenced by (i) the arrangement of valence electrons pairs amongst the atoms involved … Octet rule … Formal charges …
(ii) minimizing the repulsion amongst the valence electron pairs involved … For molecules / ions with more than two atoms, the electron pairs around the central atom(s) arrange themselves as far apart as possible in space, to minimize their mutual repulsions (maximizes stability).

Molecular Geometry Known as the
Valence Shell Electron Pair
VSEPR Theory
Repulsion
Keeping the electron pairs around the central atom(s) as far apart as possible in space, requires that Lewis Structures form our point of departure… (i) we know their relative positions …. (ii) we consider factors that may affect the repulsion…. 9
