Concept introduction:
Molecular orbitals are constructed from the AOs of different atoms. When two atoms are brought close enough together (i.e., about a bond length apart), the AOs of one atom significantly overlap the AOs of the other atom, enabling them to undergo constructive and destructive interference, or mix, to produce new orbitals. The two

Possible answers for "shape" are linear, bent, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramid, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramid, see-saw, T shaped, octahedron, square, square pyramid. Possible answers for "polarity" are polar or nonpolar. Possible answers for "central atom hybrid orbital" are sp, sp, sp, sp'd, sp d² SF6 CO CHBr3 N3 SeF4 NO 3. Shape 4. Polarity 5. Hybrid orbitalarrow_forward1. ionization of Cl2 (Cl2 —> Cl2+ + e-) leads to a shortening of the Cl-Cl distance (199 pm in Cl2, 189 pm in Cl2+), why? 2. why the C-O bond distance is nearly identical in CO (113 pm) and CO+ (112 pm)? 3. Derive the MO diagram of a linear C-H (i.e. one carbon atom bonded to one hydrogen atom). Draw out the MOs for orbitals containing electrons Would you expect C-H to behave as a carbocation, carbanion, or radical? Would removal of one electron from C-H to generate C-H+ increase or decrease the bond length between carbon and hydrogen?arrow_forwardHVZ OH 1) PBr 3, 2) H30¹ Brz Noarrow_forward
