The separation of electrical charge created when atoms of different electronegativities form a
covalent bond, specifically a polar covalent bond.
Dipole
Criteria for a molecule to be polar
1) Molecule must possess polar covalent bonds
2) Molecule must have a net-non-zero dipole moment
Indication of direction which points towards the more electronegative atom in a bond
Dipole moment
T/F all non-polar molecules have a zero dipole moment
True
Even though the individual bonds in CO2 are polar, the offset of the dipoles makes CO2 a _______ molecule.
Non-polar
The total number of molecular orbitals produced is always equal to the total number of atomic orbitals contributed by the atoms that have combined.
The bonding molecular orbital is lower in energy than the parent orbital, and the antibonding orbital is higher in energy than the parent orbital.
Electrons of the molecule are assigned to orbitals of successively higher energy.
Atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals most effectively when the atomic orbitals are of similar energy.
Molecular orbital theory
First bond formed, electrons located between two nuclei
Sigma orbital
Electrons located above and below bonding axis
Pi orbital
Constructive combination of atomic orbitals
Bonding molecular orbital
Destructive combination of atomic orbitals
Antibonding molecular orbital
- Valence electrons are located in quantum-mechanical atomic orbitals (s, p, d, f, or hybrid
combinations of these). - The overlap of two half-filled orbitals and spin-pairing of the two valence electrons
results in a - The geometry of the overlapping orbitals determines the shape of the molecule.
