MO Theory
Before Einstein:e-’s as discrete particles(Lewis Dot Structures)
e-’s as wavesOrbitals as probabilities(Quantum Mechanical
Model of Atoms)
All help with determining molecular shape.Only MO theory can get at molecular energy.
![Page 2: Chapter 11 Covalent Bonding Theories VSEPR VB Theory MO Theory Before Einstein: e-’s as discrete particles (Lewis Dot Structures) e-’s as waves Orbitals.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ec45503460f94bce830/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Scientific models are approximations or simplifications of reality
VSEPR – predicts molecular shape by assuming that e- groups minimize repulsions, and therefore occupy as much space as possible around a central atom
Does NOT explain: How molecular shapes arise from interactions of atomic orbitals
Knowledge of molecular shape – doesn’t help explain magnetic and spectral properties of molecules (only an understanding of orbitals and energy levels can do that)
More than 1 theory is needed to explain complex phenomena, such as covalentbonding, and the resulting molecular shapes and behaviors:
• Valence bond (VB) theory – molecular shape due to interactions of atomic orbitals,which results in new “hybrid” orbitals (sigma & pi bonding – two types of covalent bonds)
• Molecular orbital (MO) theory – deals with orbitals associate with the whole molecule(molecular orbitals) to explain the energy and behavior of a molecule

Formation of Hybrid (VB theory) and Molecular Orbitals (MO theory)
Setting the stage for quantum weirdness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDmbdTtcoPM
Do electrons behave as particles or waves?
Electrons are matter – they take up space and have mass. So far, we have been drawing e- dots (discrete units): This implies particles.
The Quantum Mechanical Model of Atoms: The behavior of e- is wave-like.
e- are hard to measure: Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (position & velocity)
Atoms and molecules of the quantum mechanical model are hard to visualize.

Section 11.1: Valence Bond (VB) Theory
• Based on the quantum mechanical model of the atom (Chapter 7) – an atom has certain allowed (discrete) quantities of energy due to the allowed frequencies of an electron whose behavior is wavelike and whose exact location is impossible to know
• VB Theory – a covalent bond forms when orbitals of two atoms overlap and the overlap region, which is between the nuclei, is occupied by a pair of electrons
VSEPR Theory VB Theory
![Page 5: Chapter 11 Covalent Bonding Theories VSEPR VB Theory MO Theory Before Einstein: e-’s as discrete particles (Lewis Dot Structures) e-’s as waves Orbitals.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ec45503460f94bce830/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Central themes of VB Theory:
(1) The space formed by the overlapping orbitals has a maximum capacity of two e-’sthat must have opposite spins
(2) The greater the orbital overlap, the stronger (and more stable) the bond.(Reason: Bond strength depends on attraction of the nuclei for the shared e-’s)
(3) When two atoms form a covalent bonds, there orbitals overlap to form a new hybrid orbitals (which are not the original s-, p-, d- or f-orbitals, but some different shape)
Section 11.1: Valence Bond (VB) Theory
![Page 6: Chapter 11 Covalent Bonding Theories VSEPR VB Theory MO Theory Before Einstein: e-’s as discrete particles (Lewis Dot Structures) e-’s as waves Orbitals.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ec45503460f94bce830/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Section 11.1: Valence Bond (VB) Theory
The extent of orbital overlap depends on the shapes and directions of the atomic orbitals
2 e-
6 e-
10 e-
14 e-
F-orbitals: 7 orbitals, 2 e- in each
In a bond involving p-, d-, and f-orbitals, the orbitals will be orientedin a direction that maximizes overlap.
(If oriented in a direction that does notmaximize overlap, the bond will beweaker)
s-orbitals are spherical Orientationduring bonding does not matter

Section 11.1: Valence Bond (VB) Theory
Two points about formation of hybrid orbitals (called hybridization):
(1) # of hybrid orbitals formed = # of atomic orbitals mixed
(2) type of hybrid orbital formed depends on the types of atomic orbitals mixed
5 common types of hybridization: sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, sp3d2
![Page 8: Chapter 11 Covalent Bonding Theories VSEPR VB Theory MO Theory Before Einstein: e-’s as discrete particles (Lewis Dot Structures) e-’s as waves Orbitals.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ec45503460f94bce830/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Section 11.1: Valence Bond (VB) Theory
sp hybridization = sp hybrid orbitals (mix 1 s + 1 p orbital of the central atom = 2 hybrid orbitals)
Linear e- group arrangement
Example: BeCl2
Linear shape means that bonding orbitals must be oriented linearly.

VB Theory says: Mixing two nonequivalent orbitals (one s and one p) around a central atom results in two equivalent sp hybrid orbitals that lie 180º apart
Be hybridization: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6 - NO e-’s in the p-orbitals of Be before it bonds
The 2s2, 2p6 orbitals of Be form the hybrid orbital.

Cl: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p5
Note: The 2s2 orbital of Be shares 1 e- with each Cl 3p5

Section 11.1: Valence Bond (VB) Theory
When neither VB nor VSEPR theory apply
H2S –
VSEPR: tetrahedral geometry (ideal = 109.5º)VB theory: 4 sp3 hybrid orbitals formed
Reality: Bond angle is 92º. p-orbitals are unhybridized.
Real factors influence molecular shape:Bond lengthAtomic sizeElectron-electron repulsions
Long bonds between H and S result in less e-crowding and, therefore, less e- repulsion. So, do not need hybrid orbitals to minimizerepulsion.
In hydrides: When Group 6A (and sometimes 5A) elements are the central atom.

Section 11.2: Modes of Orbital Overlap (σ and π bonds)
The σ bond – End-to-end overlap
Highest e- density is along the bond axis.
All single bonds are σ bonds.
![Page 20: Chapter 11 Covalent Bonding Theories VSEPR VB Theory MO Theory Before Einstein: e-’s as discrete particles (Lewis Dot Structures) e-’s as waves Orbitals.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ec45503460f94bce830/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Section 11.2: Modes of Orbital Overlap (σ and π bonds)
The π bond – Side-to-side overlap
Two regions of e- density in a π – 1 above and 1 below the σ bond axis (holds 2 e-).
Significance? Explains how double (& triple) bonds form without e- repulsion.
All double bonds = 1 σ bond + 1 π bond

Section 11.2: Modes of Orbital Overlap (σ and π bonds)
Bond strength of single, double, and triple bonds
End-to-end overlap of σ bonds is more extensive than side-to-side π bond overlap.
σ bonds are stronger than π bonds.
Based on this, is this statement True or False:Double bonds in ethylene are twice as strong as single bonds in ethane, andtriple bonds in acetylene are three times as strong as single bonds in ethane.
Other factors: lone pair repulsions, bond polarities, etc affect overlap and strength

Section 11.2: Modes of Orbital Overlap (σ and π bonds)
A final note on σ and π bonds – Rotation of one part of molecule around another
σ bonds allow free rotation, π bonds do not.
Significance? It is the reason that cis- and trans- forms of molecules exist distinctly, rather than asresonance hybrids.

VB and MO theories both based on the quantum mechanical model of the atom.
Molecule = atoms bound togetherthrough localized overlap of
valence orbitals
MO Theory
Hard to visualize
Molecule = a collection of nuclei withe- orbitals delocalized over
entire molecule
Recall: Resonance forms ofmolecules are hybrids or averages.

Formation of Molecular Orbitals
Combine (add or subtract) the atomic orbitals of nearby atoms to form MO’s.
Two orbital types: Bonding orbitals and Antibonding orbitals
When 2 H atoms are bonded, their electrons can interact in 2 ways.
Wave interferences
Bonding MO:• Amplitudes add• Region of high e- density between nuclei
Antibonding MO:• Amplitudes subtract• Region of zero e- density between nuclei
Electrons as waves:

Energy of Molecular Orbitals
Two orbital types: Bonding orbitals and Antibonding orbitals
The bonding MO is lower in energy and the antibonding MO is higher in energy thanthe original AO’s (atomic orbitals) that combined to form them.
Bonding MO: Why lower energy? e-s spread between two nuclei rather than one e- repulsions reduced e-’s shield the nuclei from each other
= more stable than separate atoms
![Page 30: Chapter 11 Covalent Bonding Theories VSEPR VB Theory MO Theory Before Einstein: e-’s as discrete particles (Lewis Dot Structures) e-’s as waves Orbitals.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ec45503460f94bce830/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Antibonding MO: Why higher energy? e-s outside internuclear region e- repulsions not reduced e-’s do not shield the nuclei from each other (inc nucleus-nucleus
repulsion)
= less stable than separate atoms
Energy of Molecular Orbitals
Two orbital types: Bonding orbitals and Antibonding orbitals
The bonding MO is lower in energy and the antibonding MO is higher in energy thanthe original AO’s (atomic orbitals) that combined to form them.

Shape of Molecular Orbitals
Two orbital types: Bonding orbitals and Antibonding orbitals
For H2 gas, bonding MO and antibonding MO are sigma (σ) MOs.
Cylindrical about an imaginary line that runs through the two nuclei.
Notation: bonding MO for H2: σ1s
antibonding MO for H2: σ1s*

Filling MOs with Electrons
Two orbital types: Bonding orbitals and Antibonding orbitals
Magnesium (Mg)
Aufbau Principle (Chap8): Electrons fillshells in order of Increasing energy
Formation of H2 for two H atoms
Pauli Exclusion Principle (Chap8): MO fits two e- with opposite spin.
Hund’s Rule (Chap8): Orbitals of equal energy half filled, with spins parallel, beforeany of them is completely filled

Bond Order and MO Theory: You can predict - Will a molecule form? Will it react?
In Lewis dot structure-land: Bond order = # e- pairs per linkage between atoms
In MO theory-land: Bond order = ½ (# e- in bonding MO – # e- in antibonding MO)
Bond order > 0: The molecular species is stable relative to separate atoms. (*The higher the BO, the stronger the bond.)Bond order = 0: No net stability (not likely that the molecule will form)
Does the H2 form? Does the He2 form?

O,F,Ne – small atoms• Strong repulsions b/w p-orbitals Energy of p-orbitals increase • ∆Energy b/w p- and s-orbitals large = no mixing of orbital types
B,C,N – larger atoms (= more space)• Repulsions b/w p-orbitals not so strong• ∆Energy b/w p- and s-orbitals small• Mixing occurs

Bonds and Molecular Properties
Paramagnetic ≠ Magnetic
Attracted by the magnetic field but does not remain magnetic
once it leaves the field.
VSEPR vs MO
Note: VSEPR predicts the O2 has no unpaired electrons. MOtheory says it does.
Observation: Liquid O2 sticksto a magnet

Heteornuclear Diatomic Molecules
Molecules made of two atoms of different elements.
MOs are assymetrical due to unequal energies of the AOs of different atoms.
Example 1: HF
Why is AO of F lower than AO of H?
H 1s interacts only with F’s 2p (not 2s)
And only 1 of the 3 2p orbitals interacts.
Result: 1σ and 1σ*
Other p’s unchanged – nonbonding MOs
