What line drawing represents the molecule with the formula C6H14?
Molecular bonding or bond linkage
Is AlP an ionic or molecular compound?
AlP is a solid and it is not molecular. The difference in electronegativity is only 0.58. The bonding is It is best described as polar covalent . There are many compounds that are not molecular but are covalent giant molecules.
What happens to compounds at molecular level when melted?
The bonds between molecules are broken, and the molecules move freely, with a lesser degree of bonding (with no bonding at all you get a gas rather than a liquid).
The basis of the VSEPR model of molecular bonding is?
electron domains in the valence shell of an atom will arrange themselves so as to minimize repulsions
Why nitrogen is diamagnetic while contains unpaired electrons?
If you are going by the electron configuration of nitrogen then the unpaired electrons in the 2p shell would indicate that it is paramagnetic. However experiments show that it is diamagnetic. You must remember that nitrogen is a diatomic element and as such is found as N2. The molecular orbital theory explains how there are no unpaired electrons in the bonds between the two N atoms. The 1s and 2s molecular orbitals are completely filled and all of the bonding 2p orbitals are also filled. There are no electrons in the any of the 2p anti-bonding orbitals. Seeing a molecular orbital diagram for N2 will clarify what i mean.
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.
In a pure sodium are there molecular bonding?
in pure metals, there is molecular bonding. These bondings are known as metallic bonds.
What type of bonding exists in lauric acid?
Covalent Molecular Bonding
What is the difference between inter-molecular hydrogen bond and intra-molecular hydrogen bond with examples?
inter molecular hydrogen bonding is between one molecule and the neighbouring molecule whereas the intra molecular bonding between the same molecule
Water dissolves many ionic and molecular compounds because of what?
ionic bonding
What is the difference between bonding and anti bonding molecular orbital?
Electrons in a bonding orbital have lower energy levels than the average energy of a valence electrons in the isolated atoms between which the orbital is formed. Antibonding orbitals do not meet this criterion, so that anitbonding orbitals can be stable only in conjunction with bonding orbitals, whereas bonding orbitals can be formed without any accompanying antibonding orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the addition of atomic orbitals is called bonding molecular orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the subtraction of atomic orbitals is called antibonding molecular orbitals.
Why py and pz cannot form bonding and anti bonding molecular orbital?
Standard PY and PZ cannot form bonding and anti bonding molecular oribitals due to their structural differences. Depending on the composition of the bonds, most atoms and molecules can create orbitals.
Molecular shape of PH3?
PH3 has 3 bonding pairs and 1 non-bonding pair of electrons. Its electron pair geometry is Tetrahedral and its molecular geometry is Trigonal Pyramidal.
What is hierarch of life?
it's the molecular bonding of life and death
What molecular bond is the strongest?
hydrogen bonding in molecules is stronger
Are all sigma bonding molecular orbitals are gerade?
Yes ^^
Which molecular solid would have the highest melting?
one with hydrogen bonding.
