Mention the conditions for combination of atomic orbitals. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :The conditions for the combination of atomic orbitals are 1) The combining atomic orbitals should have comparable energy. 1s orbital can combine with ANOTHER 1 s orbital but not with 2s orbital. 2) The combining atomic orbitals should have the same symmetry about the moecular axis. For example : 2p orbital can combine with 2s orbital or another `2p_(z)` orbital but not with `2p_(x)or2p_(y)`. 2s cannot combine with `2p_(x)or2p_(y)` 3) The combining atomic orbitals MUST overlap to the MAXIMUM extent. |
