Electrons stay in regions between the two atoms. Some bond examples s-s s-p s-d p-p p-d d-d H-H H-C H-Pd C-C Se-F Fe-Fe (?) Li-H H-N in Pd P-P H-F hydride But overlapping of simple atomic orbitals does not explain all the features. Thus, we have to take another look, or do something about atomic orbitals – hybridization. How does valence-bond approach explain the formation of chemical Theoriesbonds? of chemical bonding 3 Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals The solutions of Schrodinger equation led to these atomic orbitals. 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 3d, 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f, etc. However, overlap of these orbitals does not give a satisfactory explanation. In order to explain bonding, these orbitals are combined to form new set of orbitals – this method is called hybridization.

For example, the dot and VB theory does not explain the fact that O2 is paramagnetic and has a double bond. Dot and VB structures : O O : • O O • are unsatisfactory. MO theory, different from VB in that MO theory considers the orbitals of the whole molecules. However the approach of linear-combination-of- atomic-orbitals (LCAO) is usually used. There are other reasons, but it’s human nature to theorize. The theory is beautiful, and worth learning or teaching. Theories of chemical bonding 20 The Molecular Orbital (MO) Theory For a molecule, there are certain orbitals each of which accommodates two electrons of opposite spin. The MO theory combines atomic orbitals (AO) to form MOs, & this method is called LCAO s* The two atoms in the H2 molecule may be represented by A and B. Their s orbitals 1sA and 1sB respectively, are used for two MOs: s* = 1sA – 1sB s = 1sA + 1sB 1sA 1sB The energy levels of these AO and MO are represented by the diagram here, with the math hidden. s Theories of chemical bonding AO MO AO21 + – + MO for H2–type molecules: H2 , H2, H2 , He2 Generalize the technique of LCAO Theories of chemical bonding 22 2 Electronic configuration, s , for H2 molecules Generalize the technique of LCAO Theories of chemical bonding 23 Electronic Configuration of H2-type Molecules From the previous theory, we can fill the M Os with electrons for the H2-type molecule: Molecule e-configuration Bond order bondlength + 1 H2 1s (1s ) ½ 106 pm 2+ 2 H2, He2 1s 1 74, ~75 – + 2 H2 , He2 1s 1s* ½ ~106, 108 2– 2 2 H2 , He2 1s 1s* 0 not formed Describe the relationships of bondlength & bondorder and e-configurations; learn to reason Theories of chemical bonding 24 Sigma MOs Formed Using p AOs * Sigma MOs (s2p s2p ) can be formed using p AOs, similar to VB theory.
