There are only two possible bonds when molecular orbitals combine with each other. It can either be sigma bond, or a pi bond. You can differentiate between them by looking at the way they bond together. Sigma bond are much stronger because the orbitals are superimposed on each other. On the other hand, pi bond are overlapped only sideways.

Two atomic orbitals can overlap in two ways depending on their phase relationship. Orbital phases are a direct consequence of the nature of waves like electrons. In graphical representations of orbitals, the orbital phases are represented by plus or minus signs (which have no connection with electric charges) or by incising a lobe. The phase sign itself has no physical meaning except when mixing orbitals to form molecular orbitals.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Molecular orbital diagrams, or OM diagrams, are a qualitative descriptive tool that explains chemical bonds in molecules in terms of general molecular orbital theory and linear combinations of atomic orbitals (LCAO) in particular. The basic principle of these theories is that when atoms are bound to form molecules, a number of atomic orbitals combine to form the same number of molecular orbitals, even though electrons can be redistributed between orbitals. This tool is very suitable for simple diatomic molecules such as dihydrogen, dioxygen, and carbon monoxide but becomes more complex when discussing relatively simple polyatomic molecules, such as methane. OM diagrams can explain why some molecules exist and others don't. They can also predict the strength of bonds, as well as electronic transitions that can occur.

In MO theory molecular orbitals are formed by overlapping atomic orbitals. Because σ bonds have greater overlap than π bonds, σ, and σ * bonds and antibonding orbitals have greater energy separation (separation) from pemisahan and π * orbitals. The energy of atomic orbitals correlates with electronegativity because more electronegative atoms hold their electrons more tightly, reducing their energy. MO modeling only applies if atomic orbitals have comparable energy; When the energy is very different, the bonding mode becomes ionic. The second condition for overlapping atomic orbitals is that they have the same symmetry.

In a 100 g sample of iron(III) oxide, how many grams of iron are present?
e-lub [12.9K]
The formula of Iron(III) oxide is Fe2O3
In order to calculate the mass of iron in a given sample of iron(III) oxide, we must first know the mass percentage of iron in iron(III) oxide. This is calculated by:
[mass of iron in one mole of iron(III) oxide/ mass of one mole of iron(III) oxide] * 100 
= [(moles of iron * Mr of iron) / (moles of Iron * Mr of Iron + moles of Oxygen * Mr of Oxygen)] * 100
= [(2 * 56) / (2 * 56 + 3 * 16)] * 100
= (112 / 160) * 100
= 70%
Thus, in a 100g sample, the weight of iron will be:
100 * 70%
= 70 grams

Where is most of an atom's atomic mass?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume. The diameter of an atom is on the order of 10−10 m, whereas the diameter of the nucleus is roughly 10−15 m—about 100,000 times smaller.

For the reaction: 2 H2 + 2 NO → N2 + 2 H2O the observed rate expression, under some conditions, is: rate = k[H2][NO]2 Which of t
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Step 1 H2 + 2 NO → N2O + H2O (slow)

step 2 N2O + H2 → N2 + H2O (fast)

Explanation:

It is known that the slowest step in a reaction is the rate determining step in a sequence of reactions (reaction mechanism).

We have two important pieces of information in the question to guide our decision making process.

The overall reaction equation, and the rate expression. The two;

2 H2 + 2 NO → N2 + 2 H2O and rate = k[H2][NO]2 all support the answer given above.

Magnesium loses 2 electrons. Which reaction represents the oxidation of magnesium?
alexdok [17]
The particular reaction that represents the oxidation of Mg metal would be the following:

Mg => Mg+2 + 2e-

This is the half reaction of the oxidation of the magnesium metal, another charged species would need to receive it to become reduced or gain the 2 electrons lost.
