Interpretation: The molecular electronic configuration of
Concept introduction: Two or more than two atomic orbitals overlap to form bond, these orbitals are called molecular orbitals. Count of molecular orbital obtained is same as count of atomic orbitals mixed.
Two forms of molecular orbital are obtained. These are bonding and antibonding orbital.
Bonding orbitals are those in that electrons are in between nucleus of two atom. Antibonding orbitals are those in which electrons are away from nucleus of two-atom. Also, electrons in antibonding orbital have energy high as compared to bonding orbital.

Principles of Modern Chemistry
- In each of the following molecules, a central atom is surrounded by a total of three atoms or unshared electron pairs: SnCl2, BCl3, SO2. In which of these molecules would you expect the bond angle to be less than 120? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardIt is possible to write a simple Lewis structure for the SO42- ion, involving only single bonds, which follows the octet rule. However, Linus Pauling and others have suggested an alternative structure, involving double bonds, in which the sulfur atom is surrounded by six electron pairs. (a) Draw the two Lewis structures. (b) What geometries are predicted for the two structures? (c) What is the hybridization of sulfur in each case? (d) What are the formal charges of the atoms in the two structures?arrow_forwardWhat are the relationships among bond order, bond energy, and bond length? Which of these quantities can be measured?arrow_forward
- Describe the electron-pair geomtery and molecular geomtery around the central atom in GeBr3-arrow_forwardIf an electron is removed from a fluorine molecule, an F+2molecular ion forms.(a) Give the molecular electron configurations for F2 and F+2 (for the MOs constructed from valence AOs).(b) Give the bond order of each species.(c) Predict which species should be paramagnetic.(d) Predict which species has the greater bond dissociation energy.arrow_forwardIs the electron density consistentwith equal contributions from the tworesonance structures for O3? Explain.arrow_forward
- Electrons in bonds are negatively charged and therefore repel each other. If you had a molecule of formula AB 2 , with A being the central atom, what would you predict the 3D shape to be to allow maximum distance between the two B atoms bonded to A?arrow_forwardWhat is the molecular structure of C2H5OH, specifiy the shape and hybridization about each "central" atom?
