Which of these is one of the reasons why hybridization of atomic
orbitals explains the bonding in methane, CH4 better than
considering atomic orbitals.
a) A ground state carbon atom has two unpaired electrons.
b)Hydrogen is too small an atom for its atomic orbital to
overlap with a carbon atomic orbital.
c)Hybridization lowers the energy of all atomic orbitals.
d)Hybridization raises the energy of all atomic orbitals

Explain why the energy stabilization for bonding orbitals is
less than the destabilization energy for antibonding orbitals.
The molecular orbitals associated with the π-bonding MOs in
square cyclobutadiene (C4H4) are, like benzene, form by overlap of
a single p-orbital on each carbon atom that is not involved in the
sigma-bonding network of the molecule. These p-orbitals point
perpendicularly with respect to the plane defined by the carbon
atoms. There is no central atom, so the only interactions that
matter are between the p-orbitals among themselves.
i) draw the four π-orbitals of C4H4
ii) Use the idea that...
Explain the relationship between information, data, and
knowledge. Apply the concepts of data, information and knowledge to
data stored in a patient’s medical record. If a physician is
looking at data in a patient’s chart, discuss what occurs in order
for data to be transformed from data to information, then to
knowledge.

Illustrate the orbital overlap between the bonding electrons in
water.
Which two orbitals overlap when a chlorine atom and an iodine
atom overlap to form a covalent bond? Draw an illustration of the
orbital overlap. Are the bonding electrons shared equally between
the two atoms? Explain your reasoning.
