Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.6YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The electron in Figure 15-5a that gains energy of the incoming photon is to be circled and an arrow is to be drawn from it to the orbital to which it is promoted. Each
Concept introduction:
When a compound absorbs a photon, it is generally the electron from the highest occupied MO that gains the energy and is promoted to the immediate higher energy MO. In other words, an electron from the HOMO is promoted to the LUMO.

Construct, fully label, and populate a MO diagram for the nitrosonium anion, NO+.
Based on the diagram, state which of NO+ or NO you expect to have a stronger bond.
Draw the valence bond diagram representing chemical bonding in the molecule of HCONH2 , showing atomic and hybridized orbitals as boxes, valence electrons as arrows in the boxes, and chemical bonds as lines connecting the boxes. Note that the lone pair on N occupies an unhybridized 2p orbital due to the contribution of resonance structure.
Part B
Below are the molecular orbitals of benzene. Rank them in order of increasing energy based on the number of nodes. Consider that the blue color indicates one phase and the red color indicates the
other phase of the orbital.
Rank from lowest energy to highest energy. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

Energy р S р S Energy р S -Sarrow_forwardExplain why a o bond formed by overlap of an s orbital with an sp orbital of carbon is stronger than a o bond formed by overlap of an s orbital with a p orbital of carbon. Because s orbital of carbon is more symmetrical than p orbital of carbon atom. The electron density of the large lobe of an sp orbital is less than the electron density of a lobe of a p orbital. Therefore, the overlap of an s orbital with an sp orbital forms a weaker bond than the overlap of an orbital with ap orbital. The electron density of the large lobe of an sp orbital is less than the electron density of a lobe of a p orbital. Therefore, the overlap of an s orbital with an sp3 orbital forms a stronger bond than the overlap of an s orbital with a p orbital. The electron density of the large lobe of an sp orbital is greater than the electron density of a lobe of ap orbital. Therefore, the overlap of an s orbital with an sp orbital forms a stronger bond than the overlap of an s orbital with ap orbital.arrow_forward

This means that for a situation with resonance, the actual hybridization of the atom is determined from the resonance structure where that atom has the lowest steric number (so it can use the required number of p orbitals to form pi bonds as shown in some of its resonance structures). This could be the situation in your initial drawing, or in one of the resonance structures you draw from it. All of the oxygens in the following molecules are sp² hybridized except one.
