structure and bonding : electrons & orbitals

Wavefunction

Tells you the probability of finding an electron in a certain region of space

Principle quantum number(n)

Relates to the distance, and therefore energy of th electron away from the nucleus

Type of bond from hybridised orbitals

Sigma

Secondary quantum number

Orbital angular momentum quantum number describes the shape of the orbital

Magnetic quantum number

Defines the orientation of the subshell in 3D space

Each subshell has a (2n-1) number of atomic orbitals

Depends on secondary quantum number and integer values from -1 +1

bond formed by unhybridised orbitals

Pi bonds

Single bond

One sigma

Double bond

One sigma+ one pi

Triple bond

One sigma+ 2 pi bond

What bond is stronger sigma or pi

Sigma>pi bond. (Pi bond is easier to break)

Hydrogen atoms have have s,p,d,f orbitals

True —> orbitals can e empty
