Hybrid organosilicon-organophosphazene polymers have also been synthesized (15-18) (structure ) (the organosilicon groups were introduced via the chemistry shown in Scheme 11). These are elastomers with surface contact angles in the region of 106°. Although no biocompatibility tests have been conducted on these polymers, the molecular structure and material properties would be expected to be similar to or an improvement over those of polysiloxane (silicone) polymers.

The main goal of this chapter is to help you master electron and molecular geometry and hybridization. This will lead to information on the polarity of molecules. You might want to review Section 7-5 on electron configuration. Section 9-7 on writing Lewis structures is also important. Don t Forget —Practice, Practice, Practice. 

Although the discussions of the preceding molecules have been couched in valence bond terms (Lewis structures, hybridization, etc.), recall that the criterion for molecular shape (rule 2 above) was that the cr bonds of the central atom should be allowed to gel as far from each other as possible 2 at 180°. 3 at 120°, 4 at 109.5°, etc. This is (he heart of the VSEPR method of predicting molecular structures, and is, indeed, independent of valence bond hybridization schemes, although it is most readily applied in a VB context.

It should be mentioned that the irregularities in bond angles caused by VSEPR are typically only a few degrees. Qualitatively, the various hybridization schemes correctly predict the overall structure. VSEPR is, however, a very useful tool for predicting further details of molecular structure, and it will be applied many times in later chapters. 

For each of the following molecules or ions, describe the molecular structure and predict the hybridization of each atom. 

For each oxide, draw the Lewis structure, predict the molecular structure, and describe the bonding (in terms of the hybrid orbitals for the carbon atoms). 

Determine the molecular structure and the hybridization of the central atom of the phosphoric acid molecule. 

It should be noted that the proportionality factors depend strongly on the molecular structure, on hybridization of the various carbon atoms and on the method of calculation. Actually, each family of charged species would require a modified factor. The two most commonly used correlations for cyclic anions show a proportionality constant of 10.7 ppm per electron for protons (KH) and 160 ppm per electron for carbons... 

Skill 1.3c-Predict molecular geometries using Lewis dot structures and hybridized atomic orbitals, e.g., valence shell electron pair repulsion model (VSEPR)... 

For most of the molecules and reactions we want to consider, the Pauling hybridization scheme provides an effective structural framework, and we use VB theory to describe most of the reactions and properties of organic compounds. However, we have to keep in mind that it is neither a unique nor a complete description of electron density, and we will find cases where we need to invoke additional ideas. In particular, we discuss molecular orbital theory and density functional theory, which are other ways of describing molecular structure and electron distribution.
