The Foundations of Chemistry

For any two sets of porbitals on two different atoms, corresponding orbitals such as pxorbitals can overlap head-on.This gives  ...

MOLECULAR ORBITAL ENERGY LEVEL DIAGRAMS Figure 9-5 shows molecular orbital energy level diagrams for homonuclear diatomic mole- ...

Diagrams such as these are used to describe the bonding in a molecule in MO terms. Electrons occupy MOs according to the same ru ...

HOMONUCLEAR DIATOMIC MOLECULES The electron distributions for the homonuclear diatomic molecules of the first and second periods ...

The Helium Molecule (Hypothetical), He 2 The energy level diagram for He 2 is similar to that for H 2 except that it has two mor ...

Similarly, MO theory can be used to predict the structures and stabilities of ions, as Example 9-1 shows. EXAMPLE 9-1 Predicting ...

There are three more bonding electrons than antibonding electrons, so the bond order is 1.5. We conclude that the ion should exi ...
