New cards
σ bond
cylindrically symmetric about the bond axis; no nodal plane along the bond axis
2
New cards
𝜋 bond
electron density in 2 lobes with a single nodal plane along the bond axis
3
New cards
Single bond
𝜋 bond
4
New cards
Double bond
σ bond + 𝜋 bond
5
New cards
Triple bond
σ bond + 𝜋 bond + 𝜋 bond
6
New cards
Exception
single-bonded terminal atoms
7
New cards
Electron promotion serves to
increase the number of unpaired electrons; if you have an empty orbital you can promote one of your electrons to that orbital
8
New cards
The hybrid orbitals only differ in
their orientation in space
9
New cards
2 hybrid orbitals =
sp
10
New cards
3 hybrid orbitals =
sp²
11
New cards
4 hybrid orbitals =
sp³
12
New cards
In valence bond theory, bonds result from
the pairing of unpaired electrons from the valence shell atomic orbitals
13
New cards
Energy for the initial electron promotion comes from
bonding
14
New cards
Molecules can't rotate around a
double bond
