Topics 5
- Molecular orbital theory (qualitative) for homonuclear diatomic molecules from H2 to Ne2: bonding and antibonding orbitals, energy level diagrams, bond order
- Paramagnetism of O2; relative stabilities of O2, O2-, O2 2-, O2+ and of N2, N2+, N2-, N2 2-
- Coordinate (dative) bond: ammonium and hydronium ions, oxyacids of chlorine, nitric acid, ozone
- Resonance in ozone, carbon dioxide, carbonate ion and nitrate ion
- Hydrogen bonding: conditions, intermolecular (HF, water and ice, ethanol) and intramolecular
