Question

What is significant about homonuclear diatomic molecules and how does paramagnetism and diamagnetism relate to it? Where does bond order and orbital mixing come into this? What is the significance of orbital mixing? I know this is a lot but I'm trying to put the whole section together into making sense. Thanks!

Answer 1

Horonucleus diatomic Molecules. The molecules Composed of only one type of element Homonucleae molecules muy consist or various no. of atoms some element from Moleculer of more than one size Homonuclear dicetomic Molecules consist op too atoms though not all Herrepublice diatomic Molecules one Homonucleas. exumple is H₂ , O2 , Neetc. * N₂ ;- atomic No - 7 electronic confro 15 ²25 ²2p3 6*2Pz * Total -14 eledoon n a Stape Schlpy 2P 11 1 62/2 「クルクル r² Pre rapy 2S 1 90 625 NE moleculas -atomic Orbital. atomic Orbital Orbital

therfore, Ne has no unpaired election it's diamagnetic in natin Bond ordee Bond order = NO Sesin bonding - NO.ge@in Anda Bond order = 3 The mixing og s.p orbitals occurs when moleculos Orbitals of the Same gymmetry Same energy. No. of atomic orbitals Combine to form the sume no oz molecuos Orbitals. The Siginificance of orbital mixing is formation of Molecular Orbitol, Stable moleculos Oebitas. Nitrogen atom has 3 valancy when they from a Ne of Homonucleas diatonis molecuer is comparable more stable than it's atomic orbitas.
