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: _________
1 answer:
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
