Discuss the nature of the bonding in the nitrite ion (NO2) . Draw the possible Lewis resonance diagrams for this ion. Use the VSEPR theory to determine the steric number, the hybridization of the central nitrogen atom, and the geometry of the ion. Show how the use of resonance structures can be avoided by introducing a de-localized MO. What bond order does the MO model predict for the NO bonds in the nitrite ion?
The molecular orbital diagram of NO shown in Figure 10.47 also applies to OF. Draw the complete molecular orbital diagram for OF. What is the OF bond order? Figure 10.47 Molecular orbital diagram for nitric oxide (NO). The molecular orbital diagram for NO predicts a bond order of 2.5 and predicts that the molecule is paramagnetic with one unpaired electron. These predictions are verified by experimental measurements.
Give the hybridization of each atom (except H) in the solvent dimethylsulfoxide. (Unshared electron pairs are not shown.)
The pyridine molecule (C5H5N) is obtained by replacing one CH group in benzene with a nitrogen atom. Because nitrogen is more electronegative than the CH group, orbitals with electron density on nitrogen are lower in energy. How do you expect the MOs and energy levels of pyridine to differ from those of benzene?
Use valence bond theory to explain the bonding in F2, HF, and CIBr. Sketch the overlap of the atomic orbitals involved in the bonds.
7.57 What observation about molecules compels us to consider the hybridization of atomic orbitals?
(a) Sketch the occupied MOs of the valence shell for the N2 molecule. Label the orbitals as or orbitals, and specify which are bonding and which are antibonding. (b) If one electron is removed from the highest occupied orbital of N2 , will the equilibrium NN distance become longer or shorter? Explain briefly.
