CONCEPT: MOLECULAR ORBITALS
When atomic orbitals overlap constructively, they create unusual regions of shared electron density called __________
● The type of bond created is determined by how many regions are overlapping
We can use a model called the Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO) using addition and subtraction of orbitals to

CONCEPT: THE OCTET RULE
Atoms are most stable when they achieve the number of electrons necessary to reach a Noble Gas Configuration.
□ The tendency for atoms to lose or gain electrons in order to reach this configuration is known as the __________ rule
We can use MO theory to prove why atoms are most stable (and will not form bonds) in the Noble gas configuration
EXAMPLE: He2 LCAO
Atoms can satisfy their octet through forming chemical bonds or by possessing lone pairs. These are called octet electrons.
□ First-row elements (H, He, Li) will prefer to possess _____ octet electrons
□ Second-row elements (C, N, O, F) will prefer to possess _______ octet electrons
● Atoms smaller than Carbon will possess less than 8 electrons: (Be) ______ and (B) ________
□ Third-row elements may form expanded octets that can hold (P) _____ and (S) _______

CONCEPT: BONDING PREFERENCES
There may be many ways to combine octet electrons to satisfy the octet rule for a certain atom:
● _________________ electrons are the name we give to the octet electrons that the atom actually “owns”. The number of
these determines which of the possible octets will be the most stable.
□ An atom owns every lone electron it has
□ An atom owns ___ electron for every bond that it has
EXAMPLE: Find the total number of octet electrons and valence electrons in the following hydrocarbons. Do all of these
compounds satisfy the octet rule? If so, are they all equally stable?
The amount of electrons that the valence shell of each 2nd row element prefers to “own” is determined by its group number
on the periodic table. This will determine how many bonds it wants to have in its most stable state.

charge is assigned.
