Summary |
| |
In this lecture, we have studied the MO energy levels, contours and electronic configurations of heteronuclear diatomics. We also learnt the concept of electronegativity, which is the tendency of atoms to pull electrons towards themselves. |
| |
Electronegativity is a very useful concept for the study of reaction mechanisms as well as chemical bonding. We also described the concept of hybridization in detail, with carbon monoxide as a special example. The concept of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is also a useful feature in chemical reactivity, and so are bond strengths and bond orders. |
