What is a molecular orbital?
Think about how atomic orbitals come together.
Define bond order.
It relates to stability!
What is the bond order for H2?
Think of how many bonds are between the atoms.
True or False: Antibonding molecular orbitals contribute to molecular stability.
Consider what happens when electrons occupy these orbitals.
Calculate and explain the bond order for the F2 molecule and determine its predicted magnetic properties.
Count the total electrons in each type of molecular orbital.
Using the molecular orbital theory, explain why N2 is more stable than He2.
