Predict the Type of Hybridization in a Molecule or Ion Step 1: Add the number of valence electrons of all the atoms present in the…

Hybridization is the concept of intermixing of the orbitals of an atom having nearly the same energy to give exactly equivalent orbitals with the same…

Nitrogen molecule (N2) is the electronic configuration of nitrogen (Z=7) in the ground state is 1s22s22px12py12pz1. Therefore, the total number of electrons present in the…

Diatomic helium molecule (He2 hypothetical) is the electronic configuration of helium (Z = 2) in the ground state is 1s2. As each helium atom contains…

Hydrogen molecule (H2) is formed by the combination of two hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom in the ground state has one electron in 1s orbital.…

The stability of a molecule or an ion can also be determined from another parameter called bond order. The bond order may be defined as…

Molecular orbital theory was put forward by Hund and Mullikan in 1932. This theory is modern and more rational. This theory assume that in molecules,…

For d-orbitals or d-subshell, Ɩ = 2, there are five values of m namely -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. It means d- orbitals can have…

For p-orbitals or p-subshell, Ɩ = 1, there are three values of m namely -1, 0, +1. It means that p orbitals can have three possible…

An orbital is the region of space around the nucleus within which the probability of finding an electron of given energy is maximum. The shape…
