Using Valence bond theory, write the wavefunction describing bonding in the PCl5 molecule
Assuming that only the valence orbitals are involved in bonding, draw an approximate MO energy-level diagram describing the relative energies of these eight molecular orbitals in N2. What is the apparent bond order for N2? Are there any unpaired electrons in this molecule? If so, how many? (Have all small details sigma,pi etc)
13. (14 pts) MO Theory Draw the complete (core and valence) molecular orbital energy level diagram for the homonuclear diatomic molecule Be2. Use standard MO symbols to label the energy levels (That is: o, o, , or n*, as needed, with subscripts indicating which atomic orbitals formed them.) a. Sketch the molecular orbital formed when two 2p orbitals, one each on each Be atom, overlap to form a o antibonding MO b. Using your MO energy level diagram in (a),...
1. MO theory for homonuclear diatomic molecules (a) Determine the ground state electron configuration of the C2 anion. (1 points) (b) Calculate the bond order of the C2 anion. Is its dissociation energy greater or smaller than that of C2? Is its bond length greater or smaller than that of C2-(3 points) (c) Use MO theory to explain why the dissociation energy of the N is less than that of N2, but the dissociation energy of O is greater than...

For which molecule(s) can we not use valence bond theory to explain the bonding? SO2 (O―S―O bond angle ~120 ° ) CH4 (H―C―H bond angles = 109.5 ° ) AsH3 (H―As―H bond angles = 92 ° )
Illustrate with a picture how a H 1s atomic orbital and a F2p a form bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals in the HF m 3. mustrate 4. What is the bond order for HFT 5. Is the HF molecule predicted to be paramagnetic or diamagnetic? Use the MO diagram to predict where the electron density in the HF bond lies, closer to the H atom or closer to the F atom? Explain. 6. 7. Now draw the Lewis structure for...
Does valence bond theory indicate that the diatomic molecule He2 is a viable species? Rationalize your answer using ONLY arguments derived from valence bond theory.
Using the molecular orbital energy ordering for second-row homonuclear diatomic molecules in which the π2p orbitals lie at lower energy than the σ2p, predict the bond order in a molecule or ion with each of the following numbers of total valence electrons.(Use the drawing MO energy diagrams) Will the molecule or ion be diamagnetic or paramagnetic? Part A Determine the bond order in a molecule or ion with 4 valence electrons. Part B Will this molecule or ion be diamagnetic...
