Orbital Representation of Molecules

– In this subject, we will discuss the Orbital Representation of some Molecules (1) Orbital Representation of H2 molecule – Each hydrogen atom has one electron in 1s-orbital. – Two such atoms join to form a molecule of hydrogen. – In this case s–s overlapping between two 1s-orbitals of hydrogen …

Bond Formation, (σ) Bond and (π) Bond

Bond Formation (Valence Bond Theory) – Bond formation between atoms to give chemical compounds can be interpreted admirably in terms of the orbital theory of atomic structure. – Heitler and London believed that electron cloud of the valence orbital on one atom ‘overlaps’ the electron cloud of the other bonding …
