Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Each MO shown in Figure 14-21 is to be labeled as bonding, antibonding, or nonbonding.
Concept introduction:
Overlap of atomic orbitals (AOs) can be thought of as wave interference. It can be destructive overlap or constructive overlap. Constructive interference increases the electron density between the two nuclei (an antinode) and results in a molecular orbital (MO) of lower energy. The phases of the overlapping orbitals are the same in this case. Destructive interference reduces the electron density between the two nuclei and results in an MO of higher energy. The phases of such AOs are opposite.
Non-bonding MOs are formed when there is neither constructive nor destructive interference between the AOs. The energy of the MO is the same as the contributing AOs.

- draw structures for the following molecules....solve all parts otherwise i will downvote....arrow_forwardSolve correctly please, need all 4 subparts ans.arrow_forwardCould we cut just one bond in the "starting" molecule shown in the drawing area below to create this "target" molecule? The target molecule. If so, highlight the bond to be cut. If not, check the box under the drawing area that says Not possible. Note: it's OK if cutting the bond creates more than one molecule, as long as one of them is the target molecule. ? O Not possible. Note for advanced students: what we mean by "cutting" the bond here is breaking the bond and attaching H atoms to each dangling end, like this: H. H. Н—с—ӧ—н Н—с—Н H-ö-Harrow_forward
- a.Determine the number of nodes and rank them in order of increasing energy. b.Draw the p atomic orbital contributions on each carbon atom (AO mixing pattern) that would give rise to the MO. c. Based on your answer to part (c) -determine whether each MO is overall bonding, nonbonding, or antibonding. Please explain stepsarrow_forwardPlease draw out all structures completely. Thank you!arrow_forwardDraw an exact 3-D representation of the molecule from the model. please answer all question step by step. Answer follow image:arrow_forward
- Benzene is the simplest member of a whole class of compounds called aromatic hydrocarbons. benzene a. How is each carbon atom hybridized? b. What is the geometry around each carbon atom? What is the overall geometry of the benzene ring? c. Draw a diagram showing the orbitals used to join the carbon atoms of the ring. d. Follow the indicated curved arrow notation to draw a second resonance structure. e. Benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons are shown in Chapter 17 to be very stable. Offer an explanation.arrow_forwardÖn a piece of paper or electronic device, draw the most and the least stable Newman projections of the molecule shown belowviewing down the bond indicated with the arrow and from the direction indicated by an arrow. Put your name and access ID at the top of the page also. Scan and upload as a .pdf, .png, or .jpeg file here.

- Be sure to account for all bond- breaking and bond-making steps...arrow_forwardCould we cut just one bond in the "starting" molecule shown in the drawing area below to create this "target" molecule? The target molecule. If so, highlight the bond to be cut. If not, check the box under the drawing area that says Not possible. Note: it's OK if cutting the bond creates more than one molecule, as long as one of them is the target molecule. Not possible. I Don't Know Submitarrow_forwardNeed help, please.
