Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The orbital interaction diagram for given species is to be drawn and whether the species would likely exist as diatomic species or dissociate into monatomic fragments is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The atomic orbitals of similar size and energy overlap to form molecular orbitals. The addition of two atomic orbitals results in the formation of a continuous orbital which is known as bonding molecular orbital and subtraction of two atomic orbitals results in the formation of antibonding molecular orbital. These two orbitals have different energies. The diagram representing the orbital energies is known as orbital interaction diagram.

- There are two main types of covalent bond breakage. In ho-molytic breakage , each atom in the bond gets one of the shared electrons. In some cases, the electronega-tivity of adjacent atoms affects the bond energy. In heterolytic breakage, one atom gets both electrons and the other gets none;thus, a cation and an anion form. (a) Why is the C−C bond in H₃C−CF₃(423 kJ/mol) strongerthan that in H₃C−CH₃(376 kJ/mol)?(b) Use bond energy and any other data to calculate the heat ofreaction for the heterolytic cleavage of O₂.arrow_forwardMixing SbCl3 and GaCl3 in a 1:1 molar ratio using liquid sulfur dioxide as a solvent gives a solidionic compound with the empirical formula GaSbCl6. A controversy arose over whether this compoundis [SbCl2]+[GaCl4]− or [GaCl2]+[SbCl4]−.(a) Predict the molecular structure of the two anions from the two choices using VSEPR theory.(b) It is learned that the cation in the compound has a bent structure.
