  • Strong Pi Donors and Acceptors

    Ligands may have empty pi antibonding orbitals higher in energy and with the same symmetry as the t2g orbitals of the metal.

  • Electronic Spectra and Coordination Chemistry

    Three degenerate orbitals of the metal, dxy, dxz and dyz, interact with the pi* orbitals of CO, causing the energy of the former to go down and that of the latter to go up, since pi* has high energy than d orbitals of the metal.

  • Coordination complex of Cr

    Number of hybrid orbitals = number of atomic orbitals used. Three atomic orbitals 1 's' + 2 'p' are used to form sp^2. Hence 3 hybrid orbitals form. Q4. Similarly there should be 5 coming from 1 's' + 3 'p' + 1 'd'.

  • Oxidation States of Iron and Color Differences

    This splitting of the energies in the d orbitals is called the ligand field splitting and is symbolized by 10Dq. Two orbitals (eg orbitals) have higher energy, while three orbitals (t2g orbitals) have lower energy.

  • Molecular Orbital Theory vs Valence Bond Theory: Conductivity

    The resulting atomic orbitals are called hybridized atomic orbitals or simply hybrid orbitals. On the contrast, according to MO Theory, when two atoms come together, their two atomic orbitals react to form two possible molecular orbitals.

  • Bonding: 4sp Hybridization

    So the orbitals being used are the 3p and 4s orbitals of Ti. The 3d is not used as only 4 bonds are being formed. If more than 4 bonds formed, the 'd' orbitals would be invoked for hybridization.

  • Draw the Lewis Structure for the ClF2+ and AlF4-.

    109.5 - 4 = 105.5 Cl and F orbitals: two sp3 hybrid orbitals for Cl (one more unpaired due to positive charge) and one sp3 hybrid orbital for each F atom.

    It is fromed by the sideways overlap of two p orbitals. if pi (p)-bonds form by side-ways overlap of unhybridized p- and d-orbitals, weak bonds will from.

  • Working with Wavelentgths and Quantum numbers

    There are 2l+1 = 5 orbitals associated with the d subshell with m values ranging from -2 to 0 to 2. So, we can identify a maximum of 5 orbitals.
