New cards
what are the limitations of the vsepr theory?
does not explain shapes by atomic orbital interactions
2
New cards
what is the valence bond theory?
bonds between atoms occur when the orbitals on the atoms interacted to make a bond
3
New cards
what is the number of bonds formed by an atom determined by?
number of unpaired electrons
4
New cards
why are molecular orbitals more stable than separate atomic orbitals?
they contain paired electrons shared by the atoms, potential energy is lowered
5
New cards
in a triple bond, how many sigma and pi bonds are there?
1 sigma bond, 2 pi bonds
6
New cards
what is the first bond made with any atom?
sigma bond
7
New cards
what type of orbitals are sigma bonds made of?
hybridized orbitals
8
New cards
what kind of bonds are pi bonds made of?
leftover p orbitals
