Question

Mixing of s and p orbitals can lead to some strange effects and very unstable structures that cannot be accurately described using Lewis structures. We can even predict properties of molecules that have never been and may never be made! For each part, name a 2p homonuclear diatomic (e.g. Li2, N2, Ne2, etc.) that each statement represents. Draw an MO diagram supporting your choice.

a) A molecule that has a double bond formed from two π molecular orbitals and zero σ molecular orbitals.

b) A molecule that has two unpaired electrons in antibonding orbitals.

c) A molecule with eight electrons in bonding orbitals but has a bond order of zero.
