What is an antibonding molecular orbital?
The molecular orbital formed by the subtraction of electron density of two atomic orbitals is called antibonding molecular orbital. In terms of wave function, the antibonding MO is expressed as
Antibonding = ΨA – ΨB.
What is crystal lattice?
What is electrovalency?
What bond is present in MgCl2 molecules?
Two elements A and B have the electronic configuration as:
A = 1s22s22p63s2 and B = 1s22s22p5
Write the empirical formula of the substance containing A and B.
What type of bonding would you expect between:
(i) a metal and a non-metal
(ii) a non-metal and another non-metal?
Give reasons in one or two sentences for the observation that in their compounds non-metals form anions and not cations.
Out of Na and K, which will form a more stable ionic bond?
Which will have a greater lattice enthalpy: NaCl or MgO?
