  2. Orbital overlap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_overlap

    In chemical bonds, an orbital overlap is the concentration of orbitals on adjacent atoms in the same regions of space. Orbital overlap can lead to bond formation. The general principle for orbital overlap is that, the greater the greater the over between orbitals, the greater is the bond strength.

  3. Molecular orbital theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_theory

    Quantum mechanics describes the spatial and energetic properties of electrons as molecular orbitals that surround two or more atoms in a molecule and contain valence electrons between atoms. Molecular orbital theory revolutionized the study of chemical bonding by approximating the states of bonded electrons – the molecular orbitals – as ...

    To see the elongated shape of ψ(x, y, z) 2 functions that show probability density more directly, see pictures of d-orbitals below. In quantum mechanics, an atomic orbital (/ ˈ ɔːr b ɪ t ə l / ⓘ) is a function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom. [1]

  5. Valence bond theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_bond_theory

    σ bond between two atoms: localization of electron density Two p-orbitals forming a π-bond. The overlapping atomic orbitals can differ. The two types of overlapping orbitals are sigma and pi. Sigma bonds occur when the orbitals of two shared electrons overlap head-to-head, with the electron density most concentrated between nuclei.

  6. Molecular orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital

    In hydrogen fluoride HF overlap between the H 1s and F 2s orbitals is allowed by symmetry but the difference in energy between the two atomic orbitals prevents them from interacting to create a molecular orbital. Overlap between the H 1s and F 2p z orbitals is also symmetry allowed, and these two atomic orbitals have a small energy separation ...

  7. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    The superposition of the two 1s atomic orbitals leads to the formation of the σ and σ* molecular orbitals. Two atomic orbitals in phase create a larger electron density, which leads to the σ orbital. If the two 1s orbitals are not in phase, a node between them causes a jump in energy, the σ* orbital.

  8. Exchange interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_interaction

    (3), is the two-site two-electron Coulomb integral (It may be interpreted as the repulsive potential for electron-one at a particular point () in an electric field created by electron-two distributed over the space with the probability density ()), [a] is the overlap integral, and is the exchange integral, which is similar to the two-site ...

  9. Negativity (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negativity_(quantum_mechanics)

    In quantum mechanics, negativity is a measure of quantum entanglement which is easy to compute. It is a measure deriving from the PPT criterion for separability. [1] It has been shown to be an entanglement monotone [2] [3] and hence a proper measure of entanglement.
