Chemistry · Molecular Orbital Theory: Its important features, LCAOs, types of molecular orbitals (bonding, antibonding), sigma and pi-bonds
In molecule, the atoms are bonded by:
In \( N_{2} \) molecule, the atoms are bonded by:
- A. one \( \sigma, \) two \( \pi \) bonds
- B. one \( \sigma \), one \( \pi \) bonds
- C. \( t w o \sigma, \) one \( \pi \) bonds
- D. three \( \sigma \), one \( \pi \) bonds
Step-by-step solution
In the N2 molecule, the atoms are bonded by a triple bond consisting of one sigma (σ) bond and two pi (π) bonds. This is predicted by molecular orbital theory: the filled σ and π bonding orbitals result in a bond order of 3.
