10 Written questions

1. the interaction of one p orbital with another across an intervening sigma bond
0
INCORRECT

No answer given
THE ANSWER

conjugation

2. atoms approach each other to form a molecule; bond is the overlap of atomic orbitals, which results in localized electrons
between two atoms; considers changes in energy that occur in the formation of a bond to predict structures

INCORRECT

No answer given
THE ANSWER

Valence Bond Theory (VBT)

3. This type of bond is formed by the sideways overlap of atomic orbitals, resulting in electron density above and below the plane
of the nuclei of the bonding atoms.

INCORRECT

No answer given
THE ANSWER

pi bond

4. higher energy; no electron density

INCORRECT

No answer given
THE ANSWER

anti-bonding molecular orbital

5. overlap results in the formation of new orbitals, called molecular orbitals; these include bonding and anti-bonding; electrons are
assigned to molecular orbitals and associated with the whole molecule rather than individual atoms (delocalization)

INCORRECT

No answer given
THE ANSWER

Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT)

6. electrons that are shared by/between all atoms in a molecule or ion as opposed to being localized between a pair of atoms

INCORRECT

No answer given
THE ANSWER

delocalization

7. involves using two or more Lewis structures to represent a particular molecule or ion; structure is one of two or more alternative
Lewis structures for a molecule or ion that cannot be described fully with one Lewis structure alone

INCORRECT

No answer given
THE ANSWER
