Paragraph for Q.9 to Q.10
Bond length is the average distance between the nuclei of the two atoms held by a bond. This represents
the internuclear distance corresponding to minimum potential energy for the system. Main factors which
affect the bond length are given below :
(i) Multiple bonds are shorter than corresponding single bonds
(ii) Sometimes single bond distances are somewhat larger than double of their respective covalent radii
(e.g. F2). It is due to strong repulsive interaction between the lone-pair electrons on adjacent atoms.
(iii) Sometimes single bond distances are somewhat shorter than double of their respective covalent radii
because bonds acquire some partial double bond character. This normally happens when one atom
having vacant orbital and another atom containing lone pair. It is also possible it become shorter due to
high ionic character in the covalent bond.

PARAGRAPH TYPE
Paragraph question No. 7 to 9
Schrondinger equation can be written for any molecule. However, it cannot be solved exactly
for any system containing more than one electron, molecular orbitals having one electron wave
functions for molecules are difficult to obtain directly from the solution of the Schrondinger
wave equation. This difficulty is overcome by resorting to an approximation method called
linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method to form molecular orbitals.
The molecular orbital formed by the addition of atomic orbitals is called the bonding molecular
orbital and the molecular orbital formed by the subtraction of atomic orbitals is called
antibonding molecular orbital. Qualitatively, the formation of molecular orbitals can be
understood in terms of the constructive or destructive interference of the electron waves of the
combining atoms. In the formation of bonding molecular orbital, the two electron waves of the
bonding atoms reinforce each other (constructive interference) while in the formation of
antibonding molecular orbital, these electron waves cancel each other (destructive
interference). The result is that in a bonding molecular orbital most of the electron density is
located between the nuclei of the bonded atoms and hence the repulsion between the nuclei is
very low while in an antibonding molecular orbital, most of the electron density is located away
from the space between the nuclei, as a matter of fact there is a nodal plane (i.e., plane in which
the electron density is zero)

7. How many nodal plane is/are present in *s-p antibonding molecular orbital? [3]

(A) Bonding molecular orbitals possess less energy than the atomic orbitals from which they
are formed
(B) Bonding molecular orbitals have low electron density between the two nuclei
(C) Electron in bonding molecular orbitals contributes to the attraction between atoms
(D) They are formed when the lobes of the combining atomic orbitals have the same sign
