Question

  (a.) Draw Lewis dot structures for dioxygen gas and dinitrogen gas and (b). write

   molecular orbital electronic configurations for dioxygen gas and dinitrogen gas. Based on

   these structures and configurations, determine the bond orders (multiplicity) and magnetic

characters (diamagnetic or paramagnetic) of these gases. (c). Describe any similarities

and/or differences in the information obtained from these two independent methodologies,

(a) Valence Bond Theory (Lewis dot structures) and (b). Molecular Orbital Theory.
