Question

For molecular orbital type, is it sigma bonds or sigma and pi bonds? I also don't know how to do the other quetions either. The choices are in the drop-down list. Please explain too!

Describe each highlighted bond in terms of the overlap of atomic orbitals (If the highlighted bond is not a pi bond, select the blank option from the dropdown menu.) Compound 1: Molecular orbital type Atomic orbitals in the sigma bondv Atomic orbitals in the pi bond: Compound 2: 1s and 1s 1s and sp 1s and sp2 1s and sp 2p and 2p 2p and sp H H H2p and sp 2p and sp sp and sp sp and sp2 sp and sp3 H H H p and sp sp2 and sp3 sp3 and sp3 Molecular orbital type Atomic orbitals in the sigma bond: Atomic orbitals in the pi bond: i bond:

Explanation / Answer

Compund 1:

Molecular orbital type: Sigma bond between H-C

Atomic orbitals in the sigma bond: 1s atomic orbital of H with sp3 hybridised orbital of C

Compund 2:

The highlighted bond is not clear. I am assuming it is C-O bond

Molecular orbital type: sigma

Atomic orbitals: sp3 of C with sp3 of O
