  3. The Central Themes of VB Theory Basic Principle A covalent bond forms when the orbitals of two atoms overlap and the overlap region, which is between the nuclei, is occupied by a pair of electrons. The two wave functions are in phase so the amplitude increases between the nuclei.

  4. The Central Themes of VB Theory Themes A set of overlapping orbitals has a maximum of two electrons that must have opposite spins. The greater the orbital overlap, the stronger (more stable) the bond. The valence atomic orbitals in a molecule are different from those in isolated atoms. There is a hybridization of atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals.

  16. PROBLEM: Use partial orbital diagrams to describe mixing of the atomic orbitals of the central atom leads to hybrid orbitals in each of the following: PLAN: Use the Lewis structures to ascertain the arrangement of groups and shape of each molecule. Postulate the hybrid orbitals. Use partial orbital box diagrams to indicate the hybrid for the central atoms. SAMPLE PROBLEM 11.1 Postulating Hybrid Orbitals in a Molecule (a) Methanol, CH3OH (b) Sulfur tetrafluoride, SF4 SOLUTION: (a) CH3OH The groups around C are arranged as a tetrahedron.

  24. The Central Themes of MO Theory A molecule is viewed on a quantum mechanical level as a collection of nuclei surrounded by delocalized molecular orbitals. Atomic wave functions are summed to obtain molecular wave functions. If wave functions reinforce each other, a bonding MO is formed (region of high electron density exists between the nuclei). If wave functions cancel each other, an antibonding MO is formed (a node of zero electron density occurs between the nuclei).

  29. PROBLEM: Use MO diagrams to predict whether H2+ and H2- exist. Determine their bond orders and electron configurations. PLAN: Use H2 as a model and accommodate the number of electrons in bonding and antibonding orbitals.

  35. PROBLEM: As the following data show, removing an electron from N2 forms an ion with a weaker, longer bond than in the parent molecules, whereas the ion formed from O2 has a stronger, shorter bond: PLAN: Find the number of valence electrons for each species, draw the MO diagrams, calculate bond orders, and then compare the results.

SOLUTION: N2 has 10 valence electrons, so N2+ has 9. O2 has 12 valence electrons, so O2+ has 11.
