animation of electronic configuration in orbitals

Molecular orbital theory was proposed by F. Hund and R.S. Mulliken in 1932. The basic idea of molecular orbital theory is that atomic orbitals of individual atoms combine to form molecular orbitals. The electrons in molecules are present in the mole..

Atomic Orbital Molecular Orbital An electron in atomic orbital is under the influence of only one positive nucleus of the atom An electron in molecular orbital is under the influence of two or more nuclei depending upon the n..

Differences between Bonding and Antibonding Molecular Orbitals - Bonding MO Antibonding MO Bonding molecular orbital is formed by the addition of overlapping of atomic orbitals. The wave function of the bonding MO may be written as: (MO) = A + B Antibonding molecular h..

Shapes of s orbitals - s orbitals are non-directional and spherically symmetrical, This means that the probability of finding the electron is same in all directions at a particular distance from the nucleus, The 1s orbital is shown in the figure 1.3. fig 1.3 ..

Relative Energies of Bonding and Antibonding Molecular Orbitals - In the case of bonding molecular orbital, the attraction of both the nuclei for both the electrons is increased. This results in lowering of energy. In the case of antibonding molecular orbital..

fig 1.5 - Shapes of five 3d orbitals The shapes of these orbitals are described below: (i) The three orbitals d x y , d y z , and d z x are similar and each consists of four lobes of high electron density lying in xy, yz and zx planes respectively. These lobe..

. Each orbital consists of two lobes symmetrical about a particular axis. Depending upon the orientation of the lobes, these are designated as 2p x , 2p y and 2p z , as they are symmetrical about x, y and z-axes respectively. That is, 2p x orbital has two lobes symmetrical aroun..

. Hence sideways overlapping of '2p' orbitals of carbon atoms can form two sets of p -bonds as show..
