Molec Shape And Bond 2 Flashcards
Is the average distance from nucleus of an electron in a 2s orbital greater/lower than for an electron in an 1s orbital.
Why?
Greater
As 2s is a larger sphere
Average electron density is lower in 2s
Where is the electron in 1s orbital
Anywhere in the sphere
In a 2s atomic orbital what is the region called where the electron falls to 0
Node
What is the node in terms of waves
Where there is no transverse displacement
Describe the MO theory
AO are combined to make MOs
Valence-bond theory
Electrons within the molecule remain in the AO but we don’t know which AO
What molecule provides an accurate MO calculation
H2+
What is the main rule of MO
Same number of MOs as starting AOs
If you add wave functions what do you get
Bonding MO
Subtracting wave functions leads to what
Anti-bonding molecular orbitals
Anti bond orbital has a node and the electrons are likely to be found anywhere but between the nuclei
True/false
True
Electrons in bond orbital most likely to be found between the nuclei
True/false
True
What does end on 2p orbitals lead to
Sigma bonds
What does side on 2p orbitals lead to
Pie bonds
What is stronger sigma or pie
Sigma
