Why do we hybtidize atomic orbitals to explain the bonding in covalent compounds? What type of bonds form from hybrid orbitals: sigma or pi? Explain.
Consider the following flat drawing of methane (CH4) . a. What is HCH bond angle implied by this drawing if you assume it is flat? b. Are the electron domains of this flat CH4 spread out as much as possible? c. Use model materials to make a model of CH4 (methane). If you assembled it correctly, thefour bonds (bonding electron domains) of your model will be 109.5° apart. d. In which representation, the drawing above or the model in your hand (circle one) are theH’s of CH4 more spread out around the central carbon? e. Confirm that your model looks like the following drawing. The wedgebond represents a bond coming out of the page, and the dash bondrepresents a bond going into the page f. You will often see methane drawn as if it were flat (like on the previous page). Why is thismisleading, and what is left to the viewer’s imagination when looking at such a drawing?
Which of the following statements is/are true? Correct the false statements. a. The molecules SeS3. SeS2, PCl5, TeCl4, ICl3, and XeCl2 all exhibit at least one bond angle which is approximately 120. b. The bond angle in SO2 should be similar to the bond angle in CS2 or SCI2. c. Of the compounds CF4, KrF4, and SeF4, only SeF4 exhibits an overall dipole moment (is polar). d. Central atoms in a molecule adopt a geometry of the bonded atoms and lone pairs about the central atom in order to maximize electron repulsions.
Which atomic orbitals overlap to form the bonds in ClF?
Compare Figs. 4-47 and 4-49. Why are they different? Because B2 is known to be paramagnetic, the 2p and 2p molecular orbitals must be switched from the first prediction. What is the rationale for this? Why might one expect the 2p to be lower in energy than the 2p? Why cant we use diatomic oxygen to help us decide whether the 2p, or 2p, is lower in energy?
Which of the following would you expect to be more favorable energetically? Explain. a. an H2 molecule in which enough energy is added to excite one electron from the bonding to the antibonding MO b. two separate H atoms
Biacetyl and acetoin are added to margarine to make it taste more like butter. Biacetyl Acetion Complete the Lewis strucrures, predict vnlues for nil CCO bond angles, and give the hybridization of the carbon atoms in these two compounds. Must the four carbon atoms and two oxygen atoms in biacetyl lie in the same plane? How many bonds and how many bonds are there in biacetyl and acetoin?
