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.

- 5. The ground state of NO2 is A1. To what excited states may it be excited by electric dipole transitions, and what polarizations of light is it necessary to use to get the transition.arrow_forwardThe following reaction might occur in the interior of a star: He2+ + H → He* + H* Calculate the electronic energy change for this reaction. Assume all species in their ground states. 2.arrow_forwardWhat is the ground-state electron configuration of the valence electrons ofiodine molecules (I2)? Is iodine paramagnetic or diamagnetic?arrow_forward
- The ground state of NO2 is A1 in the group C2v. To what excited states may it be excited by electric dipole transitions, and what polarization of light is it necessary to use?arrow_forwardHow many valence electron does Br havearrow_forwardalthough we associate Pz 2. Now we will move on to diatomic molecules. In atoms all p-orbitals are equivalent with m/= 0, and px py with m/= ±1. In diatomic molecules these orbitals are in fact separated, with pz associated with o orbitals along the internuclear axis and px py associated with л orbitals (m/= ±1). In determining electron configurations we do indeed separate them: N₂ (KK¹ 0₂²). and O2 (KKogu ng *2). 4 a. Two excited states of N₂ are associated with Tu transitions. Tg and og → ou* i. Draw the MO energy level scheme (p-orbitals only) for the N₂ ground state and for these two excited states. ii. Obtain the term symbols for the two excited states and order them according to Hund's rules. iii. Write the wave functions for each of the terms obtained in ii) above. iv. Pick one wave function from each excited state and show it obeys the Pauli Principle.arrow_forward
