DGD 2 (September 29)

The document contains a list of questions about molecular geometry, hybridization, and molecular orbital theory. Specifically, it asks to: 1. Predict the geometric structure and angles of several molecules including BF3, H3O+, BrF5, etc. 2. Arrange elements from smallest to largest atomic radius. 3. Draw energy level diagrams and determine hybridization for carbon, nitrogen, boron, beryllium, phosphorus, and sulfur. 4. Draw molecular orbital diagrams and determine bond orders for diatomic molecules including H2, He2, N2, O2, CO, etc.

Valence bond theory: Atomic orbitals overlap to form bonds, but electrons are still localized in the
bonds between two atoms or in lone pairs.

1. Draw an energy level diagram of carbon’s unhybridized orbitals and sp3 hybridized

2. Draw an energy level diagram of nitrogen’s unhybridized orbitals and sp3 hybridized

3. Draw an energy level diagram of boron’s unhybridized orbitals and sp2 hybridized. Use this
energy level diagram to explain the unique reactivity of BF3.

Determine the structure of ethylene (C2H4).

8. Identify the hybridization of each C, N, and O atom (sp, sp2, sp3)


MO theory: Atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals with electrons delocalized over
entire molecule.

9. Draw MO diagrams for H2 and He2. Label the MOs (σ, σ*). What are the bond orders for the
two molecules?

diagram for O2?

Support your answer with MO diagrams.

15. Draw a molecular orbital energy level diagram for F2 and use it to answer these questions.
What is the HOMO? What is the LUMO? What is the bond order? Is F2 paramagnetic or
diamagnetic?

16. Write an electron configuration for the valence electrons (i.e., don’t worry about core
electrons like 1s in C, N, O, etc.) of each diatomic molecule and state whether is diamagnetic
or paramagnetic O2, NO, H2, CO, CN-.

(Example: N2: 1σ2, 2σ*2, 1π4, 3σ2 – diamagnetic)
