Q

electroneutrality principle (Linus Pauling)

A

if there is resonance, the preferred structure is the one with the smallest set of formal charges, and the one that has the most negative formal charges on the most electronegative atom

Q

molecular orbitals

A

orbitals which extend over the whole molecule (or at least 1 bond) rather than just an atom
orbitals tell us where electron is likely to be

23
Q

four principles of molecular orbital theory

A

of molecular orbitals=# of bonding atomic orbitals
bonding MO is always a lower energy than the antibonding MO
electrons are assigned to MOs using the Pauli principle and Hunds rule
usually, MOs are made from atomic orbitals of approximately the same energy

Q

rules for determining oxidation numbers

A
  1. oxidation # of any element by itself is 0
  2. the oxidation # of a monatomic ion is it’s charge
  3. hydrogen has an oxidation # of +1, oxyden has a # of -2
  4. sum of the oxidation numbers in a molecule add up to 0
  5. sum of the oxidation numbers in an ion is it’s charge
