Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation: The ionization energy of molecular hydrogen is greater than atomic hydrogen should be explained. Also, the ionization energy of molecular oxygen is lower than atomic oxygen should be explained.
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
- Some chemical reactions proceed by the in it ial loss or transfer of an electron to a diatomic species. Which of the molecules N2, NO. O2, C2, F2, and CN would you expect to be stabil ized by (a) the addit ion of an electron to form AB-. (b) the removal of an electron to form AB+?arrow_forwardMixing SbCl3 and GaCl3 in a 1:1 molar ratio using liquid sulfur dioxide as a solvent gives a solidionic compound with the empirical formula GaSbCl6. A controversy arose over whether this compoundis [SbCl2]+[GaCl4]− or [GaCl2]+[SbCl4]−.(a) Predict the molecular structure of the two anions from the two choices using VSEPR theory.(b) It is learned that the cation in the compound has a bent structure.
