How do fluorine atom form negative ions?
it depends on the molecular orbital theory
Why molecular orbital theory superior to valence bond theory and VESPR theory?
Superior is a difficult term. The latest versions valence bond theory and molecular orbital theories give similar answers. The simple old versions work from different premises- valence bond assumes localised pair bonds molecular orbital theory is better ate predicting spectroscopic properties. VSEPR is different again and focuses on the geometry around a central atom- and as such is better than both the simple versions of the other theories.
How does the molecular order structure explain the magnetic properties of oxygen?
Molecular orbital theory predicts that ground state diatomic oxygen has two unpaired electrons (it is a diradical) which occupy its pi orbitals. These unpaired electrons produce a magnetic moment and are responsible for the paramagnetic property of diatomic oxygen.
Which process can be explained by the kinetic-molecular theory?
Diffusion can be explained by the kinetic-molecular theory.
What molecular theory was proposed by Boltzmann and Maxwell?
Kinetic molecular theory was proposed by Boltzmann and Maxwell.
What theory provides information concerning both molecular shape and molecular bonding?
Molecular orbital theory(MOT) provides information about both molecular shape and molecular bonding.
Can orbital hybridization theory can describe both the shape and bonding of the molecules?
Orbital hybridization provides information about both molecular bonding and molecular shape.

What is the disadvantages of molecular orbital approach?
according to molecular orbital theory{MOT} O+ has bond order 2.5 and O has bond order 2 but actually O is more stable than O+.
Molecular orbital theory is based upon which model of the atom?
Molecular orbital theory determines molecular structure that the electrons are not assigned as individual bonds between atoms, however, are treated as moving under the influence of the nuclei in the whole molecule.

Why is oxygen molecule paramagnetic?
Answer 1) O2 molecule has two unpaired electrons which is only proved by Molecular orbitals theory (M.O.T). the M.O.T may be checked in any standard book of Inorganic chemistry.Answer 2) If you examine the orbital diagram for dioxygen, it contains a SOMO (Singly-Occupied Molecular Orbital) with 2 unpaired electrons. Dinitrogen does not have this. These unpaired electrons contribute to magnetism.
What year was the Valence Bond Theory invented?
Gilbert Lewis followed by Linus Pauling who is credited with the quantum mechanical approach, called valence bond theory (distinguishing it from the more recent molecular orbital theory), which is based on Lewis's electron pair bonding theory now taught as Lewis "dot" diagrams.

What is the theory used to explain the three states of matter?
Inter molecular interaction.
How is a molecular orbital formed?
In molecular orbital theory, MO theory, molecular orbitals are "built" from atomic orbitals. A common approach is to take a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO), specifically symmetry adapted linear combinations (SALC) using group theory. The formation of a bond is essentially down to the overlap of the orbitals, the orbitals being of similar energy and the atomic orbital wave functions having the correct symmetry.
What are paired electrons?
Pi electron pairs are electron pairs residing in the p orbital (as in s, p, d, f). This is the electron orbital responsible for double bonds and conjugated molecules according to molecular orbital theory.
