Document Summary

Bond order (bo) = attracted by a magnet some e are unpaired all e are paired. You are expected to be able to draw generic shapes of molecular orbitals. Has 1 more e ground state first excited state second excited state ionization n = 1 n = 2 n = 3 n = . For molecules, normally all of the e fill lower mos which is referred to as the ground state. An e can be promoted to a higher energy mo creating an excited state of the molecule. As shown on the previous diagram, h2 than h2. Note that bond orders don"t have to be whole numbers. The highest occupied mo is usually referred to as. Homo while the lowest unoccupied mo is called. Often produced or used in chemical rxns. Stoichiometry # moles of gas mass of gas.
