Flourine's Atomic Orbitals Xe's Atomic Orbitals p P P dx2y2 dxz dxy dyz The diagram below sketches the atomic orbitals of the Xe andF atoms used to make the XeF2 molecule. Match each of the atomic orbitals with their symmetry labels. (Assume a point group of D2d since it simplifies the problem) Question 9 options s-orbital P-orbitals pz -orbital 2. A2 3. Bi dx2-y2 dz2 5. E p -orbital Question 10 For each of the p-orbitals on the fluorine atoms, match them to the d-orbitals of xenon which they could form molecular orbitals Question 10 options pz of fluorine of fluorine p of fluorine 1. (xv, yz) on the Xe atom 2. xy on the Xe atom 3. x2-y2 on the Xe atom 4. z2 on the Xe atomExplanation / Answer
Q9. s orbital - A1; dyz - E; px - E; pz - B2; dx2-y2- A2; dz2 - A1: dxy - B2: py - E: dxz - E
Q10 . px can overlap with dxzor dyz
py can overlap with dxz or dyz
pz can overlap with dxy
Q11. MO of H3+ contains two electrons
Q12. It contains two unpaired electrons
Q13. Bond order = 1 [ bond order = 1/2(Nb-Na) = 1/2(2-0) = 1
Q14. True. (the bonding molecular orbital has lower energy in cyclic geometry than that of linear geometry)
