Question

Describe each highlighted bond in terms of the overlap of atomic orbitals. (If the highlighted bond is not a pi bond, select the blank option from the dropdown menu.) Compound 1: Molecular orbital type: _________ Atomic orbitals in the sigma bond: _________ Atomic orbitals in the pi bond: _________ Compound 2: Molecular orbital type: _________ Atomic orbitals in the sigma bond: _________ Atomic orbitals in the pi bond: _________

Answer 1

The image of the bonds are missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

A) - Sigma bond

-Sp³ and Sp³

- None

B) - Sigma and pi bond

- Sp² of C and p of O

- p of C and P of O

Explanation:

A) For compound 1;

- the molecular orbital type is sigma bond due to the end-to-end overlapping.

- Atomic orbitals in the sigma bond will be Sp³ and Sp³

- Atomic orbitals in the pi bond would be nil because there is no pi bond.

B) For compound 2;

- the molecular orbital type is sigma and pi bond

-Atomic orbitals in the sigma bond would be Sp² of C and p of O

- The Atomic orbitals in the pi bond will be; p of C and p of O
