What is the bond order of the hydrogen molecule (H2)?
The bond order of the hydrogen molecule (H2) is 1.
Explain the significance of the plus and minus signs in representing the orbitals.
The plus and minus signs in representing the orbitals signify the phases of the wave functions, with a plus sign indicating a positive phase and a minus sign indicating a negative phase, which is important for the constructive and destructive interference of atomic orbitals during the formation of molecular orbitals.
Define hydrogen bond and compare its strength to van der Waals forces.
A hydrogen bond is a type of dipole-dipole interaction where a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom is attracted to another electronegative atom. Hydrogen bonds are stronger than van der Waals forces.
Explain the conditions required for the linear combination of atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals.
The important conditions required for the linear combination of atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals include the proper symmetry and comparable energies of the atomic orbitals, which allow them to overlap and combine effectively to produce molecular orbitals.
What is meant by bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons? Provide an example of each type.
Bond pairs refer to electrons involved in forming covalent bonds between atoms, while lone pairs are non-bonding pairs of electrons on an atom. For example, in H2O, the two shared electrons between H and O represent bond pairs, and the two lone pairs on oxygen represent lone pairs of electrons.
