(a)
Interpretation:
Charge that should be present on
Concept Introduction:
Linear combination of atomic orbital occurs to form molecular orbitals. The characteristics of new molecular orbital depend upon by the kind and number of orbitals used in the hybridization. The new molecular orbitals are always equal in number to number of atomic orbitals that combine.
Bonding orbitals are formed when the wave function of the two atomic orbitals meet by constructive interference while antibonding orbitals are formed as a result of destructive interference.
(b)
Interpretation:
Maximum bond order has to be calculated for ion
Concept Introduction:
Bond order is calculated by the expression given as follows:
(c)
Interpretation:
Effect observed in bonding when charge is either increased or decreased by one unit has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Bond order is calculated by the expression given as follows:
