    ASSIGNMENT TO BE SUBMITTED BY 14TH APRIL 2020 10.

    00 AM

    ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS

    1. The compound SF4 has a see-saw molecular geometry. How would valence bond theory
    describe the hybridization of the sulfur atom?

    d Answer
    b. sp3dsp2

    2. The figure below is a representation of what type of orbital?

    a.  bonding molecular orbital


    b.  antibonding molecular orbital
    c.  bonding molecular orbital Answer
    d.  antibonding molecular orbital
    e. sp2
    3
    hybrid orbital

    Part I: Complete all of problems 3-6

    3. Define the following in a maximum of three sentences per item: (12 points)

    .hybrid orbital:

    1
    6. The starship Enterprise is powered by dilithium (Li2). Based on molecular orbital theory,
    should Li2 be a stable molecule? Justify your answer with a MO diagram. (10 points)

    7. When drawing Lewis structures, we run into problems with compounds like ozone and
    benzene. With compounds like these, we have to invoke the concept of resonance and
    realize that the Lewis approach does provide a realistic picture of the electron distribution in
    these compounds. Molecular orbital theory does not have this same shortcoming. What
    fundamental assumption limits Lewis (and valence bond) theory and how does MO theory
    avoid this problem? (10 points)
    Part II. Answer three (3) of problems 8-11. Clearly mark the problem you do not want
    graded. 14 points each.

    8. Many organic functional groups contain an oxygen atom double-bonded


    to a carbon, as shown at the right. Using valence bond theory, describe .O .
    how the double bond is formed between the carbon and the oxygen.
    Indicate which orbitals on each atom participate and account for all
    electrons shared between the C and O atoms. Drawings may be useful R C R
    in your description.
    9. Silver forms a face-centered cubic structure as a solid. If the density of silver is 10.6 g/cm3,
    what is the atomic radius of solid silver, in picometers (1 pm = 10-12 m)?
    10. Answer the following questions regarding the nitric oxide, NO:

    a. Complete the MO diagram below for NO. You may assume that the distribution of
