Concept Introduction:
Molecular orbital diagram is a linear combination of atomic orbitals of similar energy and similar symmetry. It is formed by the proper overlap of the atomic orbitals.
There are 3 types of molecular orbitals as follows:
1. Bonding molecular orbital: They are formed by the constructive interference of atomic orbitals and electrons in it stabilize the molecule and are of lesser in energy.
2. Antibonding molecular orbital: This type of orbitals increases the energy of molecule and destabilizes it and weakens the bond between the atoms.
3. Non-bonding molecular orbital: These types of orbitals have energy similar to atomic orbitals that is addition or removal of electron does not change the energy of molecule.
The order of energy in molecular orbital follows two rules as follows:
1. For
2. For atomic number more than 14 order of energy is,
Electron affinity is the energy released when electron is added to gaseous atom or molecule to give negative ion.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- 3 What is the biggest difference between the Lewis and the AO-model in terms of the localisation of electrons in atoms?arrow_forwardAluminum oxide (Al₂ O₃) is a widely used industrial abrasive(emery, corundum), for which the specific application depends onthe hardness of the crystal. What does this hardness imply about the magnitude of the lattice energy? Would you have predictedfrom the chemical formula that Al₂ O₃ is hard? Explain.arrow_forwardAcetyl chloride, CH₃C(O)Cl, is used as a reagent for the acylation of salicylic acid in the synthesis of aspirin. Draw the Lewis structure of CH₃C(O)Cl (with minimized formal charges) and then determine if the molecule is polar or nonpolar. +arrow_forward
- Write the electron configurations for (a) Ca2+, (b) Co3+, and (c) S2-.arrow_forwardThe C=O double bond is polar, with a dipole moment of 1.0 Debye. Do you expect CO2 to be a polar molecule? Why or why not?arrow_forwardA hypothetical covalent molecule, X–Y, has a dipole moment of 1.12D and a bond length of 101 pm. Calculate the partial charge on a pole of this molecule in terms of e, where e is the charge on an electron.arrow_forward
- Describe the structure of a P2 molecule in valence-bond terms. Why is P4 a more stable form of molecular phosphorus than P2?arrow_forwardWhy is phosphorus able to have a valence of 5+?arrow_forwardWrite the Lewis structures for the following species, and indicate whether each is an odd-electron species, an electron-deficient species, or an expanded valence shell species. (a) BI3 (b) IF5 (c) HN2arrow_forward

Explain your decision in each ease. a In4+ [Kr]4d9 b In+ [Kr]4d10 5s2 c In3+ [Kr]4d10 d In [Kr]4d10 5s1arrow_forwardUsing the bond dissociation enthalpies in Table 8.8, estimate the enthalpy of combustion of gaseous methane, CH4, to give water vapor and carbon dioxide gas.arrow_forwardWrite the Lewis structures for the following species, and indicate whether each is an odd-electron species, an electron-deficient species, or an expanded valence shell species. There is only one central atom in each. (a) XeF2 (b) BeCl2 (c) XeO2F4 (both O and F are terminal atoms)arrow_forward
