Molecular Orbital theory

A three centered two electron bond as name suggest speaks about three centres sharing two electrons to make one  bond. These type of bondi...

• Oxygen p orbitals are lower  energy than the CH2 p  orbital. • MO’s analogous to key  orbitals in ethylene are  formed including both th...

• Rule 5: Molecules with similar structures will have qualitatively similar MO’s, with the major difference being the number of valence ē...

• Standard bonding picture for ethylene is viewed as being made from 2 sp2 hybridized C atoms, and consists of a C-C double bond. • MOT...

• As molecules get bigger constructing the molecular orbitals becomes more challenging. • Insights into bonding of larger molecules can b...

• Essence of orbital mixing is stated in Rules 8 and 9. • Rule 8: When two orbitals interact, the lower energy orbital is stabilized and ...

THEORY FOR CH2 IS SAME AS CH3 SO I HAVE EXPLAINED IT IN SHORT IF U STILL HAVE DOUBT COMMENT BELOW. • Generate group orbitals for CH2 grou...
