  2. Orbital overlap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_overlap

    In chemical bonds, an orbital overlap is the concentration of orbitals on adjacent atoms in the same regions of space. Orbital overlap can lead to bond formation. Linus Pauling explained the importance of orbital overlap in the molecular bond angles observed through experimentation; it is the basis for orbital hybridization.

  3. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    [5] [22] For instance, a modification of this analysis is still viable, even if the lone pairs of H 2 O are considered to be inequivalent by virtue of their symmetry (i.e., only s, and in-plane p x and p y oxygen AOs are hybridized to form the two O-H bonding orbitals σ O-H and lone pair n O (σ), while p z becomes an inequivalent pure p ...

  4. Ball-and-stick model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball-and-stick_model

    [2] In a ball-and-stick model, the radius of the spheres is usually much smaller than the rod lengths, in order to provide a clearer view of the atoms and bonds throughout the model. As a consequence, the model does not provide a clear insight about the space occupied by the model.

  5. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    The simple MO diagram of H 2 O is shown on the right. [2] [3] Following simple symmetry treatments, the 1s orbitals of hydrogen atom are premixed as a 1 and b 1. Orbitals of same symmetry and similar energy levels can then be mixed to form a new set of molecular orbitals with bonding, nonbonding, and antibonding characteristics. In the simple ...

  6. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are possibly arranged in the real three-dimensional space.

  7. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Tie up loose ends. Two Lewis structures must be drawn: Each structure has one of the two oxygen atoms double-bonded to the nitrogen atom. The second oxygen atom in each structure will be single-bonded to the nitrogen atom. Place brackets around each structure, and add the charge (−) to the upper right outside the brackets.

    Drinking coffee could extend your life up to two years, new research finds. Regular coffee consumption was found to be associated with increased health span (time spent living free from serious ...

  9. Antibonding molecular orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibonding_molecular_orbital

    The higher-energy orbital is the antibonding orbital, which is less stable and opposes bonding if it is occupied. In a molecule such as H 2, the two electrons normally occupy the lower-energy bonding orbital, so that the molecule is more stable than the separate H atoms. He 2 electron configuration. The four electrons occupy one bonding orbital ...
