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?
what is resonance theory?
‘hypothetical structures that can’t be isolated’
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
