hybridization

2 electron groups?
linear

sp
sigma (s) bond
results when the bonding atomic orbitals point along the axis connecting the two bonding nuclei
either standard atomic orbitals or hybrids
s-to-s, p-to-p, hybrid-to-hybrid, s-to-hybrid, etc.
pi (p) bond
results when the bonding atomic orbitals are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the axis connecting the two bonding nuclei
between unhybridized parallel p orbitals
the interaction between parallel orbitals is not as strong as between orbitals that point at each other; therefore s bonds are stronger than p bonds
LCAO method
the simplest guess starts with the atomic orbitals of the atoms adding together to make molecular orbitals – this is called the Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals method
weighted sum
because the orbitals are wave functions, the waves can combine either constructively or destructively
LCAO molecular orbitals
when the wave functions combine constructively, the resulting molecular orbital has less energy than the original atomic orbitals – it is called a Bonding Molecular Orbital
s, p
most of the electron density between the nuclei
when the wave functions combine destructively, the resulting molecular orbital has more energy than the original atomic orbitals – it is called a Antibonding Molecular Orbital
s*, p*
most of the electron density outside the nuclei
nodes between nuclei
Molecular Orbital Theory
Electrons in bonding MOs are stabilizing
Lower energy than the atomic orbitals
Electrons in anti-bonding MOs are destabilizing
Higher in energy than atomic orbitals
Electron density located outside the internuclear axis
Electrons in anti-bonding orbitals cancel stability gained by electrons in bonding orbitals
Bond Order
Bond Order = ((#bond e-)-(# antibond e-)) / 2
HOMO

LUMO
Highest occupied molecular orbital

Lowest unoccupied molecular orbital
for molecular orbital pattern, always use the pattern associated with the element in the higher group #.

Example, N=O
NO uses the pattern 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1 following the pattern for O in the 6th group
MO pattern for C2?
1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 following the pattern for elements in groups 3, 4 and 5
MO pattern for F2?
1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1 following the pattern for elements in groups 6, 7 and 8
