Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.29P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Why an s AO from one atom and a p AO from another will not interact in the given orientation is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
According to the Molecular Orbital Theory (MO Theory), when two atomic orbitals overlap significantly, they produce two molecular orbitals. One of these molecular orbitals is produced by overlap and mixing of two AOs that have the same phase. This MO is lower in energy than the individual AOs, and is called the bonding atomic orbital. The second MO is produced by the overlap and mixing of the AOs of opposite phases. It is higher in energy than the individual AOs and is called the antibonding MO.

Which nitrogen in the following molecules can more readily interact with an electron poor atom through its nonbonding electrons? Explain by drawing a molecular orbital "cartoon" for each molecule to determine where those nonbonding electrons reside. Use a few words too, to help your explanation.
One of the orbital interactions we did not consider in this chapter is that between an s AO
from one atom and a p AO from another atom in the fashion shown. These orbitals will
not interact while in this orientation. Explain why.
