Give the shapes of bonding and antibonding MOs formed by combination of: (i) two s-orbitals (ii) two p-orbitals (side to side) |
|
Answer» s-orbitals – It is formed when a pair of ELECTRONS is shared AMONG two s-orbitals thus by making a sigma BOND ORBITAL between them.b) two p-orbitals (side by side) – it is an orbital formed when a pair of electrons is shared between two p-orbitals thus by making a pi-bond orbital. Also, the s-s orbital and p-p orbital overlap is given in the below figure |
