I have read that PH5 does not exist and was wondering why. Why can't the s orbitals from hydrogen form a bond with the five sp3d hybrid orbital from phosphorus? I've also read that PH4 does exist. Wouldn't the s orbitals on hydrogen form a bond with the sp3d hybrid orbitals there also with a free electron?
Draw the MO diagram of linear NO2 by consulting the character tables and orbital energies, and to align your O/N/O axes. Remember to use a lower symmetry point group for the linear molecule. What is the bond order of linear NO2? How does it change if you make it NO2 - or NO2 +. Draw each SALC and look for interactions between the orbitals.
