  2. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    A diatomic molecular orbital diagram is used to understand the bonding of a diatomic molecule. MO diagrams can be used to deduce magnetic properties of a molecule and how they change with ionization. They also give insight to the bond order of the molecule, how many bonds are shared between the two atoms.

  3. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. [1][2][3] A Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded ...

  4. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

    To see the elongated shape of ψ (x, y, z)2 functions that show probability density more directly, see pictures of d-orbitals below. In quantum mechanics, an atomic orbital (/ ˈɔːrbɪtəl /) is a function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom. [1] This function describes an electron's charge distribution ...

  5. Square planar molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_planar_molecular...

    0. Structure of cisplatin, an example of a molecule with the square planar coordination geometry. In chemistry, the square planar molecular geometry describes the stereochemistry (spatial arrangement of atoms) that is adopted by certain chemical compounds. As the name suggests, molecules of this geometry have their atoms positioned at the corners.

  6. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    Electron configuration. In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule (or other physical structure) in atomic or molecular orbitals. [1] For example, the electron configuration of the neon atom is 1s2 2s2 2p6, meaning that the 1s, 2s, and 2p subshells are occupied by ...

  7. Molecular orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital

    In chemistry, a molecular orbital (/ ɒrbədl /) is a mathematical function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in a molecule. This function can be used to calculate chemical and physical properties such as the probability of finding an electron in any specific region.

  8. Iron compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_compounds

    The iron compounds produced on the largest scale in industry are iron(II) sulfate (FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O) and iron(III) chloride (FeCl 3). The former is one of the most readily available sources of iron(II), but is less stable to aerial oxidation than Mohr's salt ((NH 4) 2 Fe(SO 4) 2 ·6H 2 O). Iron(II) compounds tend to be oxidized to iron(III ...

  9. Lone pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_pair

    The s character rich O σ(out) lone pair orbital (also notated n O (σ)) is an ~sp 0.7 hybrid (~40% p character, 60% s character), while the p lone pair orbital (also notated n O (π)) consists of 100% p character. Both models are of value and represent the same total electron density, with the orbitals related by a unitary transformation.
