Atomic orbitals energy level diagrams

Atomic orbital energy level diagrams. To simplify these diagrams, the orbitals are shown at the same energies for different atoms. Actually, the energy of an orbital decreases as the number of protons in the atom increases.Thus the Ip orbitals of fluorine are lower in energy than the Ip orbitals of oxygen.

Figure 7.14 Molecular orbital energy level diagram for first-row homonuclear diatomic molecules. The 2p, 2py, 2p atomic orbitals are degenerate in an atom and have been separated for convenience. (In O2 and F2 the order of

Step 2 Use matching valence-shell atomic orbitals to build bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals and draw the resulting molecular orbital energy-level diagram (Figs. 3.31 and 3.32). 

FIGURE 3.33 A typical d molecular orbital energy-level diagram for a heteronuclear diatomic molecule AB the relative contributions of the atomic orbitals to the molecular orbitals are represented by the relative sizes of the spheres and the horizontal position of the boxes. In this case, A is the more electronegative of the two elements. 

The molecular orbital energy-level diagrams of heteronuclear diatomic molecules are much harder to predict qualitatitvely and we have to calculate each one explicitly because the atomic orbitals contribute differently to each one. Figure 3.35 shows the calculated scheme typically found for CO and NO. We can use this diagram to state the electron configuration by using the same procedure as for homonuclear diatomic molecules.

FIGURE 3.40 The molecular orbital energy-level diagram for SFf, and the occupation of the orbitals by the 12 valence electrons of the atoms. Note that no antibonding orbitals are occupied and that there is a net bonding interaction even though no d-orbitals are involved. 

In a nickel-containing enzyme various groups of atoms in the enzyme form a complex with the metal, which was found to be in the +2 oxidation state and to have no unpaired electrons. What is the most probable geometry of the Ni2+ complex (a) octahedral (b) tetrahedral (c) square planar (see Exercise 16.96) Justify your answer by drawing the orbital energy-level diagram of the ion. 

Write the shorthand electron configuration and draw the ground-state orbital energy level diagram for the valence electrons in a sulfur atom.

The following molecular orbital energy-level diagram shows the energies and electron occupancies of the MOs derived from the atomic 2p orbitals for an oxygen-containing binary compound of potassium.

So once again we have three p orbitals to combine. This is the same situation as before. We have the same atoms, the same orbitals, and so the same energy levels. In fact, the molecular orbital energy level diagram for this compound is almost the same as the one for the allyl cation the only difference is the number of electrons in the it system. Whereas in the allyl cation Jt system we only had two electrons, here we have three (two from the 7t bond plus the single one). Where does this extra election go Answer in tire next lowest molecular orbital—the nonbonding molecular orbital,...
