Study Notes
Magnetic Moment
- Magnetic moment (m s) is directionally oriented with a spin of +1/2 or -1/2.
- Two electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins.
Hybridization
- Hybridization (sp) occurs in Group II elements and unsaturated acetylenic compounds of carbon.
- The improved directional characteristics of the hybrid orbitals should be noted.
Oxygen Hybridization
- Oxygen achieves a hybridized valence state.
- In sp3 hybridization, the water molecule would have two lone pairs of electrons in hybridized orbitals.
- The oxygens can be rotated to align their p orbitals parallel to the carbon p orbitals, This leads to two volumes of electron density separated by a nodal plane at the bond axis.
Dipole
- The positive end of the dipole is produced by protons in the nuclei and attracts electrons in the same or a neighboring species.
