orbital representation

Orbital Representation of Covalent Bonds - Covalent bonds are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals. As orbitals have different shapes, it is difficult to represent the actual shape of the orbitals on the paper. Hence a pictorial notation is adop..

According to wave mechanics, we cannot simply say that the electron exists at a particular point but we talk about certain regions in space around the nucleus where the probability of finding the electron is maximum. Such regions are expressed by mathematical expressions and are called orbital..

Hydrogen molecule - The bonding between hydrogen atoms to form a molecule of hydrogen can be represented as follows: In this representation, half-filled '1s' orbital of one hydrogen atom overlaps (shown by 'dashed' lines) with that of the other having electron with opposite spin..

In this type of hybridisation one '2s' and two 'p' orbitals (2px and 2py) get hybridised to form three equivalent orbitals called 'sp 2 ' hybrid orbitals. Each hybrid orbital has one third 's' character and two third 'p' character. The bond angle betwee..

In molecules containing double bond, which has a pi bond, there is no free rotation and such molecules exist in isomeric forms of 'cis' and 'trans'. In the 'cis' form the similar atoms lie on the same side of a plane placed along the internuclear axis while in the 'trans' form the similar atoms l..
