Why are bonding molecular orbitals lower in energy than the parent atomic orbitals?
Label the molecular orbital shown as σ or Π, bonding or antibonding, and indicate where the node occurs.
Identify the hybridization of the central atom in each of the following molecules and ions that contain multiple bonds: (a) \({\rm{ClNO}}\) (\({\rm{N}}\) is the central atom) (b) \({\rm{C}}{{\rm{S}}_{\rm{2}}}\) (c) \({\rm{C}}{{\rm{l}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{CO}}\) (\({\rm{C}}\) is the central atom) (d) \({\rm{C}}{{\rm{l}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{SO}}\) (\({\rm{S}}\) is the central atom) (e) \({\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{F}}_{\rm{2}}}\) (\({\rm{S}}\) is the central atom) (f) \({\rm{Xe}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{F}}_{\rm{2}}}\) (\({\rm{Xe}}\) is the central atom) (g) \({\rm{ClO}}{{\rm{F}}_{\rm{2}}}^{\rm{ + }}\) (\({\rm{Cl}}\) is the central atom).
