Chapter 10 Key Terms Flashcards
Antibonding orbital
Molecular orbital higher in energy than orbitals that formed it
Bond order
((bonding e-)-(antibonding e-))/2
Bonding orbital
Orbital lower in energy than those which formed it
Diamagnetic
State of an atom with only paired electrons
Electron geometry
Geometrical arrangement of electron groups in molecule
Electron groups
Term for lone pairs, single bonds, lone electrons, or multi bonds
Hybrid orbitals
Orbitals formed from combination of normal orbitals to allow bonds
Hybridization
Combining standard orbitals to allow for bonding orbitals
Linear Geometry
When there are three atoms and 180* angle between them
Molecular geometry
Shape of atoms in a molecule
Molecular orbital theory
Model of bonding saying electrons are delocalized, orbit whole molecule
Nonbonding orbital
Orbital with localized electrons
Octahedral arrangement
seven electron groups together, 90* angles
Pi bond
Bond forming between second or third bond in multiple bond
