What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the bond between C and O in carbon dioxide, CO2 ?
The diatomic molecule OH exists in the gas phase. OH playsan important part in combustion reactions and is a reactiveoxidizing agent in polluted air. The bond length and bondenergy have been measured to be 97.06 pm and 424.7 kJ/mol,respectively. Assume that the OH molecule is analogous to theHF molecule discussed in the chapter and that the MOs resultfrom the overlap of a pz orbital from oxygen and the 1s orbitalof hydrogen (the OOH bond lies along the z axis).
What are the hybridizations of atoms 1 and 2 respectively in the following structure?
