Bonding Molecular Orbitals vs Antibonding Molecular Orbitals
Bonding: lower energy than atomic orbitals
Antibonding: higher energy than atomic orbitals
Alkane vs Alkene vs Alkyne
Alkane: all single bonds
Alkene: double bond
Alkyne: triple bond
Node
Region around the nucleus where probability of e- is 0
Delocalization
E- pairs that can appear in one place and then another place in resonance structures
Isomers
Different compounds w/ same molecular formula
Resonance structure rules
- Must have net charge of 0
- Must have same # of unpaired e-
Major contributor resonance structure preference is determined by what factors
- Structure w/ the smallest separation of oppositely charged atoms
- Structure where the negative charge resides on the most electroneg atom and positive charge on least electroneg atom
