Please show all your work in the space provided. 1. (15 pts) in the LCAO-MO approach, there are three important characteristics that two atomic orbitals, on different atoms, must share in order to come together to form a molecular orbital. What are these three things, for five points each? Condition #1: Condition #2: 2, Condition #3: (20 pts) A hydrogen atom is excited to a 3d electronic state. Two photons are emitted, one after the other. For ten points each,...
Consider two 2p orbitals, one on each of two different atoms, that are oriented side-to-side as in the figure. Imagine bringing these nuclei together so that overlap occurs as shown in the figure. This overlap results in a system of molecular orbitals, 88-8. Construct an orbital interaction diagram for molecular orbital formation using the images that represent various orbital types (e.g., atomic, bonding, antibonding). Additionally, identify the number of nodes in each atomic and molecular orbital. Answer Bank
Consider two 2p orbitals, one on each of two different atoms, oriented side-to-side, as in the figure. Imagine bringing these nuclei together so that overlap occurs as shown in the figure. This overlap results in a system of molecular orbitals. (Scroll down to answer part "c)".) a) Below, construct an orbital interaction diagram for molecular orbital formation by dragging the images triat represent various orbital types (e.g., atomic, bonding, antibonding) into the relevant boxes. b) Identify the number of nodes in each...
Draw a labelled diagram showing the atomic orbitals for N and O on each side and the molecular orbitals for NO, in the middle. The diagram should clearly show: which atomic orbitals combine to form each molecular orbital, the relative position (increasing energy going up the page) of the molecular orbitals and the locations of electrons in the atomic orbitals and in the molecular orbitals. Use your diagram to determine the following: What is the bond order? Explain how you...
Question #4 & #5? 3) Using Early and Late Molecular Orbitals, draw the two M.O. diagrams for NO , determine which is most stable; calculate and state bond order of each, state diamagnetic or paramagnetioc d if paramagnetic and by how many electrons. an 4) If four hydrogens, each with its 1s orbital, and two carbons, each with its one 2s and three 2p orbitals, form a molecule, then how many molecular orbitals will there be? How many bonding orbitals,...
5. Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals. Thus, n atomic orbitals can combine (overlap) to form n molecular orbitals. In 1,3-butadiene there are four atomic p orbitals which can combine to form four 7 molecular orbitals. In ethene there are two atomic p orbitals which can combine to form two y molecular orbitals. The drawings below show the different ways in which the p orbitals of ethene and 1,3- butadiene can be combined to form the...
