- Give the expected hybridization of the central atom for the molecules in Exercises 21 and 22.arrow_forwardWhy does the molecular orbital model do a better job in explaining the bonding in NO and NO than the hybrid orbital model?arrow_forwardSketch the resonance structures for the N2O molecule. Is the hybridization of the N atoms the same or different in each structure? Describe the orbitals involved in bond formation by the central N atom.arrow_forward
- Describe the bonding in the O3 molecule and the NO2 ion, using the localized electron model. How would the molecular orbital model describe the bonding in these two species?arrow_forwardIn terms of the molecular orbital model, which species in each of the following two pairs will roost likely be the one to gain an electron? Explain. a. CN or NO b. O22+ or N22+arrow_forwardGive the expected hybridization of the central atom for the molecules or ions in Exercises 81 and 87 from Chapter 3.arrow_forward
- What modification to the molecular orbital model was made from the experimental evidence that B2 is paramagnetic?arrow_forwardIdentify the hybrid orbitals used by boron in BCl3 and in BCl4, the ion formed from the reaction of BCl3 and Cl. Explain your choices.arrow_forwardWhat hybridization is required for central atoms that have a tetrahedral arrangement of electron pairs? A trigonal planar arrangement of electron pairs? A linear arrangement of e lectron pairs? How many unhybridized p atomic orbitals are present when a central atom exhibits tetrahedral geometry? Trigonal planar geometry? Linear geometry? What are the unhybridized p atomic orbitals used for? Describe the bonding in H2S, CH4, H2CO, and HCN, using the localized electron model.arrow_forward
