How do you draw the orbital overlap for H2O? How do you know the
angle of which to draw the bonds?
Solutions
Expert Solution
H-O-H bond angle is 104.5degree.
Hybridisation of central atom is SP3. So orientation of four
hybrid orbitals around oxygen is tetrahedral. As there are two lone
pairs on oxygen atom the becomes angular or v shaped.
Draw the orbital overlap diagram for bicarbonate CH2NH and give
perspective on the bonds using dashes and wedges. I am unsure on
how to use dashes and wedges.. how can you tell how far a bond
is?
Draw the molecular orbital diagram for the valence electrons in
H2O. Using the electron configuration and the Walsh correlation
diagram, explain why H2O is bent and not linear.
An s orbital and a p orbital can overlap to
make a sigma bond as follows:
The two in-phase lobes overlap and
there is symmetry about the internuclear axis.
For each type of bonding below, select
one p orbital (any of your choosing) and one d
orbital (again, any one you feel appropriate). You can (and
probably need to!) select different orbitals for each example.
Identify each orbital (by name), make sure to mark the phase of
each lobe (+...
