orbitals-3D shape Flashcards
what is the difference between a double and single bond?
double bond shorter than single bond
what is the length of orbitals in benzene?
all orbitals the same length in a benzene
what shape is the orbital for s?
spherical
what is the orbital hybridization theory?
all C-H bonds are identical
tetrahedral bonds and bond angle?
109.5
trigonal planar bonds and bond angle?
120 degrees
what is resonance theory?
‘hypothetical structures that can’t be isolated’
a molecule, ion or radical of the the resonance structures will best represent the weighted hybrid.
what is one important rule with drawing resonance structures
drawing a double headed arrow
what does a complete arrow head represent?
2 electrons moving
what does a half arrow head represent?
1 electron moving
rules for movement of electrons?
curly arrows much start from an electron (rich species)
arrow head must go towards electron
