The B2 molecule is paramagnetic; show how this indicates that the energy ordering of the orbitals in this molecule is given by Figure 6.18a rather than 6.18b.
Schrodinger and de Broglie suggested a ‘Wave—particle duality" for small particles—that is, if electromagnetic radiation showed some particle-like properties, then perhaps small punicles might exhibit same wave-like properties. Explain. How does the wave mechanical picture of the atom fundamentally differ from the Bohr model? How do wave mechanical arbitals differ from Bohr’s orbits? What does it mean to say that an orbital represents a probability map for an electron?
At large interatomic separations, an alkali halide molecule MX has a lower energy as two neutral atoms, M+X ; at short separations, the ionic form (M+)(X) has a lower energy. At a certain distance, Rc , the energies of the two forms become equal, and it is near this distance that the electron will jump from the metal to the halogen atom during a collision. Because the forces between neutral atoms are weak at large distances, a reasonably good approximation can be made by ignoring any variation in potential V(R) for the neutral atoms between Rc and R= . For the ions in this distance range, Rc is dominated by their Coulomb attraction. (a) Express Rc for the first ionization energy of the metal M and the electron affinity of the halogen X. (b) Calculate Rc for LiF, KBr, and NaCl using data fromAppendix F.

What is the best reason for the observation that carbon can form four bonds and not two as expected from its electron configuration? * a) Carbon is in main group 4 of the periodic table. b) Carbon has four valence electrons in the n = 2 energy level. c) An electron is transferred from the filled 2s orbital to an unoccupied 2p orbital. d) The energy gap between the n = 1 and n = 2 is large and no further electrons can, therefore, be promoted from lower energy levels to facilitate more bonds. e) All of the reasons given above explain the observation
