Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The MO resulting from the given orbital interaction is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
When atomic orbitals (AOs) of the opposite phases interact, they result in an antibonding molecular orbital (MO) that is higher in energy than the individual AOs.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the resulting MO is unique compared to the one shown on the right of Figure 3-6b is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
When atomic orbitals (AOs) of opposite phases interact, the resulting molecular orbital (MO) has higher energy than the separate AOs. Whether the phases of the two are negative and positive as shown here or positive and negative, the result is an MO that is raised in energy to the same extent.

- One of the orbital interactions we did not consider in this chapter is that between an s AO from one atom and a p AO from another atom in the fashion shown. These orbitals will not interact while in this orientation. Explain why.arrow_forwardThe molecule shown here contains carbons. carbons total, and hydrogens, asymmetricarrow_forward13arrow_forward
- Solve correctly please with some explanation also. Electron pair geometry(option): Linear,triagonal planar, tetrahedral,trigonal bipyramidal, octahedral.arrow_forwardI am wondering why there is a need for resoance structures if the molecule already has a neutral charge. Wouldn't these all be insignificant resonance structures (as there is unnecessary charge separation)? Perhaps they are only depicting these structures for the purpose of showing high/low electron density (which was what the question was asking for)? 1 picture shows answer, another shows problem (it is (b)).arrow_forwardFigure 3 of 3 Which of the following clusters of orbitals would form the shape shown here (Figure 3) either through the formation of a single molecule or by bonding to another atom of similar electronic geometry and results in an arrangement of orbitals that is possible within the valence shell of an atom? Check all that apply. ► View Available Hint(s) two sp orbitals and two p orbitals six sp³ d² orbitals three sp orbitals two sp orbitals and four p orbitals three p orbitals six sp³ d orbitals six sp³ orbitals one sp orbital and two p orbitalsarrow_forward
