Examine the picture in the box below. Select the atomic orbitals in the table below that would blend together to produce the set of hybrid orbitals pictured in the box. If at least one orbital is missing to make the pictured hybrid set, select "missing atomic orbitals". ہو 0 missing atomic orbitals
Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be neutral atoms.
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms. Water, as we all know has two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. As oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen thus, there exists polarity in the bonds which is why water is known as a polar solvent.
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the formation of covalent bonds with the help of wavefunctions using attractive and repulsive energies when two atoms are brought from infinity to their internuclear distance.
Is this correct?
When two atomic orbitals join to generate a hybrid orbital in a molecule, the energy of the individual atoms' orbitals is redistributed to give orbitals of equivalent energy. This process is referred to as hybridization. The atomic orbitals with equivalent energies are mixed together during the hybridization process, which primarily involves the fusion of two s orbitals, two p orbitals, or the mixing of a s orbital with a p orbital or a d orbital. Hybrid orbitals are the new orbitals that are created in by hybridization.
