What is a molecular orbital vs an atomic orbital?
according to MOT each energy level can be occupied by 2 electrons which must have opposite spins these pairs of electrons considered to occupy molecular orbital. so molecular orbital is formed from the overlap of the atomic orbitals of the atoms making up the bond.
Indicate how bonding is explained in term of molecular orbitals?
When two atoms combine, the overlap of their atomic orbitals produces molecular orbitals. An atomic orbital belongs to a particular atom, whereas a molecular orbital belongs to a molecule as a whole. Much like an atomic orbital, two electrons are required to fill a molecular orbital. A bonding orbital is a molecular orbital occupied by the two electrons of a covalent bond
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 type of hybridization is found in ethylene?
sp2. Each carbon is sp2 hybridised leaving a p orbital that can form a pi bond. The ethylene (ethene) molecule is planar.
Why sulfur is paramagnetic in vapour state?
Because in vapour state it exists as S2 molecule and has 2 unpaired electrons in antibonding pi orbital and hence exhibit paramagnetism.

How are atomic and molecular orbitals related?
"just as an atomic orbital belongs to a particular atom, a molecular orbital belongs to a molecule as a whole" -prentice hall chemistry
Why potassium permanganate is colored yet it has no d- orbital in Mn?
Because the charge transfer in the molecule

How can a molecule accommodate two electrons in the same hybrid orbital?
By the two of them having opposite spin quantum numbers.
Electrons spin about the nucleus at certain general levels called what?
Orbital shells.
Explain why the relationship between orbital speed and distance is the same as that between gravity and distance?
gravity is that keeping the orbital speed from falling or breaking loose. and the distance away = time
Give an exapmle molecule of an odd electron?
Nitric oxide (NO) is an example of a molecule with an odd electron. It has one unpaired electron in its molecular orbital diagram, making it a radical.
How do an atom of hydrogen and molecule of hydrogen differ?
A molecule of hydrogen is two atoms of hydrogen bonded together so that they share their single electrons, making them act as if they had a full s1 orbital in both atoms.
Explain the meaning of the symbol 4d6?
4 is the energy level d is the orbital and 6 is the number of electrons it holds
