Comprehension
Comprehension given below is followed by some multiple choice questions. Each question has
one correct option. Choose the correct option.
Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals. Two atomic orbitals combine to form
two molecular orbitals called bonding molecular orbital (BMO) and anti bonding molecular orbital
(ABMO). Energy of anti bonding orbital is raised above the parent atomic orbitals that have combined
and the energy of the bonding orbital is lowered than the parent atomic orbitals. Energies of various
molecular orbitals for elements hydrogen to nitrogen increase in the order : 1s < * 1s < 2s < * 2s
< (2px = 2py ) < 2pz < (* 2px = * 2py ) < * 2pz and for oxygen and fluorine order of energy
of molecular orbitals is given below :
1s <* 1s <2s <*2s < 2p < (2p= 2p ) < (* 2p = * 2p ) < * 2p
Different atomic orbitals of one atom combine with those atomic orbitals of the second atom which have
comparable energies and proper orientation. Further, if the overlapping is head on, the molecular orbital
is called "Sigma", () and if the overlap is lateral, the molecular orbital is called "epi", (). The molecular
orbitals are filled with electrons according to the same rules as followed for filling of atomic orbitals.
However, the order for filling is not the same for all molecules or their ions. Bond order is one of the most
important parameters to compare the strength of bonds.
