What is conjucation?
In organic chemistry, hyperconjugation is the interaction of the electrons in a sigma bond (usually C-H or C-C) with an adjacent empty (or partially filled) non-bonding p-orbital, antibonding σ or π orbital, or filled π orbital, to give an extended molecular orbital that increases the stability of the system.this info is taken by wikipedia
What is the energy level diagram for the H2 ion with a positive 1 charge?
Draw two short lines about 4-6 inches apart at the same height on the page, and label them "1s," representing the two H-atoms in the H2 molecule. Above one line (not both), put a single arrow pointing up, indicating a single electron occupying the 1s orbital in one of the two H-atoms. Then in between the two lines, draw two new lines. But now, one line is below the original pair of lines, and one is above (if you connected the four lines, you'd get a diamond shape). The lower line represents the molecular orbital "sigma bonding", and the upper line represents the "sigma anti-bonding" orbital. Since the number of electrons in the molecule is just the sum of those in the atoms, there is only one electron. Electrons go in the lowest possible level, so put one arrow above the lower line, the sigma bonding orbital. The molecule has a bond order of 0.5
How many sigma and pi bond does ozone molecule has?
Total 2 sigma and 3 pi bonds (one bonding, one non-bonding and one antibonding) for O3
Your student asked why the pi bonding orbitals are lower in energy than the sigma bonding orbitals.?
this is not a general rule. pi orbitals are always higher in energy than sigma orbitals due to side wise overlapping which is less effective than head on overlappig. however in atoms with atomic number less than 7 the sigma orbital due to overlapping of p orbitals is higher in energy than the pi orbitals formed due to sidewise overlapping of p orbitals
What do two hydrogen atoms bonded together form?
A hydrogen bond is the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative.When two hydrogen atoms come together to form the hydrogen molecule, the atomic s orbitals of each atom are combined to form two molecular orbitals. One of these new orbitals is the result of the addition of the two atomic orbitals, while the other is created by a subtraction of these orbitals. In the addition, a reinforcement of the wave function occurs in the region between the two nuclei. Physically, this means the electron density increases in the area between the two nuclei. This increase in electron density causes a corresponding increase in the attraction of each positively charged nucleus for the negatively charged overlap region. It is this increased attraction that holds the hydrogen molecule together and creates the bonding molecular orbital. Because the bonding molecular orbital is generated from atomic s orbitals, it is called a σ (sigma) bonding molecular orbital.
Are all sigma bonding molecular orbitals are gerade?
Yes ^^
Is HE2 a van der waals?
He2 is a molecule where the bonding is only due to van der waals interactions as the molecular orbital diagram shows that both the bonding and antibonding sigma orbitals are full.
What is the highest energy occupied molecular orbital for N 22?
sigma 2p
What is a sigma bond?
A sigma bond is a molecular bond made by the joining of the wavefunctions of either an s to an s orbital, an s to a pz orbital, a pz to a pz orbital or a dz2 to a dz2 orbital. Sigma bonds are the strongest of the molecular bonds (the others being the pi and delta bonds) and has the maximum electron density directly between the nuclei with no nodal planes and cylindrical symmetry (for the bonding variety, since sigma antibonds have no electron density between the nuclei). For bonds between small elements (such as hydrogen, carbon, oxygen), one bond in a single, double, or triple bond is always a sigma bond (the others are pi bonds).
What are the postulates of molecular orbit theory?
Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT):•Basic idea of MOT is that atomic orbitals of individual atoms combine toform molecular orbitals. Electrons in molecule are present in themolecular orbitals which are associated with several nuclei.•The molecular orbital formed by the addition of atomic orbitals is calledthe bonding molecular orbital (s ).•The molecular orbital formed by the subtraction of atomic orbital is calledanti-bonding molecular orbital (s*).•The sigma (s ) molecular orbitals are symmetrical around the bond-axiswhile pi (p ) molecular orbitals are not symmetrical.•Sequence of energy levels of molecular orbitals changes for diatomicmolecules like Li2, Be2, B2, C2, N2 is 1s < *1s < 2s< *2s < ( 2px = 2py)

How could you predict the presence of a sigma or pi bond in a molecule?
The presence of a sigma will be centered ( with the shared electrons) between the two atoms, such as in water H2O, the sigma will remain between the water and the hydrogen. It will remain in a bonding orbital between the two, the bonding orbital is the region where bonding electrons are likely to be found. As far a pi bond, you know already that there needs to be sigma in order to have a pi, if you have a double bond you can assume that there is one sigma and one pi, if there is a triple bond, you can assume that there will be one sigma and two pi. That's the best way I can explain it, .
Is sigma a type of bonding?
Yes, There are two types of bonding sigma and pi.
Why carbon can not form fourth covalent bond?
With itself. Molecular bonding theory and the bond order show a sigma pi discrepancy ( bonding/anti-bonding ) that disallows this tetra-covalent carbon to carbon interaction. Google this for a fuller explanation.
What is the bonding order of hydrogen iodide?
HI has a bond order of 1. H 1s1 + I 5p5 gives one filled (2 electrons) sigma bonding oribital and one empty anti-bonding orbital. bond order= 1/2 (bonding electrons-anti-bonding electrons) = 1/2(2-0) = 1
How many sigma bond orbitals are available for overlap with the vacant p orbital in methyl cation?
In methyl cation (CH3+), there are three sigma bond orbitals available for overlap with the vacant p orbital. These sigma bond orbitals originate from the three C-H bonds in the methyl group.
What type of bonding cyclopentane?
sigma bonds
