Chapter 3, Problem 3.4YT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To circle and label the areas of constructive and destructive interference in the given figure (3-9a)

Concept introduction:

sp hybridized orbitals are generated by mixing two pure atomic orbitals. These orbitals mix with different phase combinations, giving constructive and destructive interference. In constructive interference, the orbitals of the same phase mix with each other while in destructive interference, orbitals of different phases mix.

Read This! The attractive and repulsive forces in an atom are rather complex. An electron is attracted to the protons in the nucleus, but it is also repelled by the other electrons in the atom. It is important to note however that the attractive force of the nucleus is NOT divided up among the electrons in the atom. Each electron gets approximately the full attractive force of the nucleus (minus the repulsive effects of other electrons). Compare the diagram below to set D in Model 3. Notice the similarity in attractive force. 0.10 nm 0.10 nm approx. 4.60 x 10-8 (on each electron) Model 4 – Period 3 Elements Aluminum Chlorine Sodium What does it MEAN? What do you WONDER?
