Use the VSEPR theory to determine the steric number, the hybridization of the central nitrogen atom, and the geometry of the ion. Show how the use of resonance structures can be avoided by introducing a de-localized MO. What bond order does the MO model predict for the NO bonds in the nitrite ion?arrow_forwardThe molecules N2 and CO are isoelectronic but their properties are quite different. Although as a first approximation we often use the same MO diagram for both, suggest how the MOs in N2 and CO might be different.arrow_forwardDiscuss the nature of the bonding in the nitrate ion (NO3) .

Write the molecular orbital electron configuration of each, indicating the bond order and the number of unpaired electrons. (a) LiBe+ (b) CO+ (c) CN (d) OF Figure 10.47 Molecular orbital diagram for nitric oxide (NO). The molecular orbital diagram for NO predicts a bond order of 2.5 and predicts that the molecule is paramagnetic with one unpaired electron. These predictions are verified by experimental measurements.arrow_forwardwrite Orbital diagram to represent electron configurations with hybridization for S in SF2. Please explain.arrow_forwardConsider a heteronuclear diatomic molecule, AB, where A and B are period 2 elements. Using the following pieces of information, provide details on the molecular orbital diagram of AB: Clue 1: The MO diagram of AB does not contain non- bonding electrons. Clue 2: The s and p orbital energies of both atoms are quite close to one another that interactions between different orbital types occur. Clue 3: AB" is more stable than AB, but AB2 is less stable than AB". Clue 4: The potential energies of the atomic orbitals of A are higher than the potential energies of the atomic orbitals of B.
