What are the two types of molecular orbitals formed when atomic orbitals combine?
Think about which orbital stabilizes the molecule.
What is a bond order of 0 indicative of?
Consider what happens when the number of electrons cancels out.
What do bonding molecular orbitals do?
Think about how bonding orbitals interact with atomic orbitals.
True or False: All electrons in a diamagnetic substance are unpaired.
Consider the arrangement of electrons in terms of pairing.
Predict the magnetic properties of N₂ based on its molecular orbital configuration.
Draw the orbital diagram to see which electrons are paired.
Given an unknown diatomic molecule with 10 bonding and 2 antibonding electrons, determine the bond order and its implications for the stability of the bond.
Use the bond order formula, then think about what this means for molecular stability.
