why do elements make hybrid orbitals
because they form bigger overlap than regular orbitals
what process can predict hybridization of orbitals
VsPR
What is sigma bond
any bond that is isn’t double bonded
pi bond
bond only between two p orbitals
can form
what is constructive interference
when two orbitals are in phase
destructive interference
two orbitals are out of phase and there is a node
symbol for anti bonding orbitals
star
why does antibonding exist
orbitals are constantly changing phase
what is bond order of stable molecule
greater than 1
formula for bond order
sum bonding orbitals - sum anti bonding orbits / 2
paramagnetic
unpaired electrons (magnetic)
diamagnetic
fully paired, non magnetic
what happens to unpaired electrons when near magnet
they orient
does a double bond count as more than one electron group
double and triple bonds are 1 electron group
what does electron group determine
shape of particle
