Description of covalent bonds: valence bond theory. Lecture notes 2: covalent bonds result from two atoms coming close enough that their atomic orbitals overlap, requires that each atomic orbital is singly occupied (only one electron in each). Antibonding molecular orbitals are of higher energy than the atomic orbitals from which they come. Lecture notes 2: placing electrons into molecular orbitals follows the same rules as in the case of atomic orbitals (hund"s rule etc), figure below illustrates these points for h2. Mathematical construct: the 2s and 2p orbitals on carbon can be combined and reapportioned to provide four equivalent hybrid orbitals. These orbitals are called sp3 orbitals because they are formed from one s and three p orbitals. All hybrid orbitals are intermediate in energy between the s and p orbitals from which they are derived. 1s ! : the net result is that there are now four equivalent sp3 orbitals, each containing one electron.

(a) Using only the valence atomic orbitals of a hydrogen atom and a fluorine atom, and following the model of Figure 9.46, how many MOs would you expect for the HF molecule? (b) How many of the MOs from part (a) would be occupied by electrons? (c) It turns out that the difference in energies between the valence atomic orbitals of H and F are sufficiently different that we can neglect the interaction of the 1s orbital of hydrogen with the 2s orbital of fluorine. The 1s orbital of hydrogen will mix only with one 2p orbital of fluorine. Draw pictures showing the proper orientation of all three 2p orbitals on F interacting with a 1s orbital on H. Which of the 2p orbitals can actually make a bond with a 1s orbital, assuming that the atoms lie on the z-axis? (d) In the most accepted picture of HF, all the other atomic orbitals on fluorine move over at the same energy into the molecular orbital energy-level diagram for HF. These are called “nonbonding orbitals.” Sketch the energy-level diagram for HF using this information and calculate the bond order. (Nonbonding electrons do not contribute to bond order.) (e) Look at the Lewis structure for HF. Where are the nonbonding electrons?

Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6. In the benzene molecule, carbon atoms form a ring with alternating single and double bonds connecting them. Thus, each individual carbon atom forms one ? bond with another carbon atom and one ? and one ? bond with another carbon atom. Each carbon atom also forms one ? bond with a hydrogen atom. Identify which types of orbitals overlap to form the bonds between the atoms in a benzene molecule. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets.

Attached is picture. Please explain/show work, will give 5 stars to correct answer, thank you very much! :)

Chemical bonds are formed by linear combinations of atomic orbital's. These atomic orbital's should have compatible energies. An axial overlap of these orbitals results in the formation of a sigma bond, whereas a lateral overlap results in the formation of a pi bond. When two atomic orbitai's on different atoms approach each other, two molecular orbital's are formed: one bonding molecular orbital and one antibonding molecular orbital. The bonding molecular orbital has a lower energy than the corresponding atomic orbital's: antibonding orbital's have higher energies than the corresponding atomic orbital's. An example using the hydrogen molecule is shown here. However, the same rule applies to systems with multiple atomic orbital's. For each atomic orbital that overlaps, one molecular orbital must form. In the diagram below. 1s orbitais from two hydrogen atoms combine to form one bonding sigma1 orbital and one antibonding orbital. The total number of bonding and antibonding orbital's is always equal to the number of orbital's that overlap. Similarly, molecular orbital's can also be formed by the overlapping of hybrid orbital's. The hybrid orbital's are formed by the linear combination of different atomic orbital's of nearly equal energy on the same atom. The atomic orbital's of nearly equal energy undergo a process of mixing and reorientation to form new orbital's of lower energy. This process is called hybridization For example, hybridization of one s and two p orbital's on an atom forms three sp2 hybrid orbital's. Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6. In the benzene molecule, carbon atoms form a ring with alternating single and double bonds connecting them. Thus, each individual carbon atom forms one sigma bond with another carbon atom and one sigma and one pi bond with another carbon atom. Each carbon atom also forms one sigma bond with a hydrogen atom. Identify which types of orbital's overlap to form the bonds between the atoms in a benzene molecule.
