Which of the following statements is TRUE? The total number of molecular orbitals formed doesn't always equal the number of atomic orbitals in the set. When two atomic orbitals come together to form two molecular orbitals, one molecular orbital will be lower in energy than the two separate atomic orbitals and one molecular orbital will be higher in energy than the separate atomic orbitals. O A bond order of 0 represents a stable chemical bond. Electrons placed in antibonding orbitals stabilize the ion/molecule. All of the above are true.

Ethylene oxide is an intermediate in the manufacture or ethylene glycol (antifreeze) and polyester polymers. More than 4 million tons are produced annually in the United States. The molecule has a three-member ring of two C atoms and an O atom. (a) What are the bond angles in the ring? Comment on the relation between the bond angles expected based on hybridization an d the bond angles expected for a three-member ring. (b) Is the molecule polar? Based on the electrostatic poten1ial map shown below. where do the neg-alive and positive charges lie in the molecule? Polarity: It is a well separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or chemical compounds having an electrical dipole moment. Generally the polar molecules must contain polar bonds due to a different in electronegative between the bonded atoms. The electrostatic potential map clearly to explain, the oxygen atom has more negative () charge and other side has less positive () charge, so this molecule is a more polar nature.
