Concept Introduction:
Molecular orbital theory: Molecular orbital theory explains about the bonding, non-bonding and anti-bonding orbitals present in molecule. A bond is generally formed in bonding electrons that shows the maximum presence of electrons than in anti-bonding electrons. Molecular orbital theory also explains about the magnetic properties of molecule.

- Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, has the formula C9H8O4 and the skeleton structure (a) Complete the Lewis structure and give the number of bonds and bonds in aspirin. (b) What is the hybridization about the CO2H carbon atom (colored blue)? (c) What is the hybridization about the carbon atom in the benzene-like ring that is bonded to an oxygen atom (colored red)? Also, what is the hybridization of the oxygen atom bonded to this carbon atom?arrow_forwardMethylcyanoacrylate is the active ingredient in super glues. Its Lewis structure is (a) How many sigma bonds are in the molecule? (b) How many pi bonds are in the molecule? (c) What is the hybridization of the carbon atom bonded to nitrogen? (d) What is the hybridization of the carbon atom bonded to oxygen? (e) What is the hybridization of the double-bonded oxygen?arrow_forwardThe ionization energy of CO is greater than that of NO. Explain this difference based on the electron configurations of these two molecules.arrow_forward

Use molecular orbital (MO) theory in description of the following molecules: Which of the following species has the greater bond enthalpy? These chemical species have the similar orbital structure to that of N2. CO, CO+arrow_forwardDraw Lewis structure for OPF, (P is the central atom). Write down all possible resonance structures, including formal charges. Draw the geometry of the ion.

- The existence of compounds of the noble gases was once a great surprise and stimulated a great deal of theoretical work. Sketch the molecular orbital energy level diagram for XeF and deduce its ground-state electron configurations. Is XeF likely to have a shorter or longer bond than XeF+?arrow_forward2. It has been reported that 3-electron bonds may be possible. These bonds would be similar to "normal" two-electron bonds, except that three electrons would be required for each bond. I was curious as to what might happen to molecular geometries if ALL bonds involved three electrons and ALL lone pairs were actually lone triplets. Under this system, and using the VSETR (Valence Shell Electron Triplet Repulsion) Model, predict the ideal molecular geometries of the following molecules. (NOTES: The number of valence electrons for each atom remains the same; only worry about VSE Triplets around the central atom; electron triplets would still want to position themselves around the atom just like doublets.) a.
