  2. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    MO diagram of dihydrogen Bond breaking in MO diagram. The smallest molecule, hydrogen gas exists as dihydrogen (H-H) with a single covalent bond between two hydrogen atoms. As each hydrogen atom has a single 1s atomic orbital for its electron, the bond forms by overlap of these two atomic orbitals. In the figure the two atomic orbitals are ...

  3. Molecular orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital

    The qualitative approach of MO analysis uses a molecular orbital diagram to visualize bonding interactions in a molecule. In this type of diagram, the molecular orbitals are represented by horizontal lines; the higher a line the higher the energy of the orbital, and degenerate orbitals are placed on the same level with a space between them.

  4. Carbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide

    Carbon monoxide has a computed fractional bond order of 2.6, indicating that the "third" bond is important but constitutes somewhat less than a full bond. [20] Thus, in valence bond terms, – C≡O + is the most important structure, while :C=O is non-octet, but has a neutral formal charge on each atom and represents the second most important ...

    It is a matter of taste whether one includes the lone pair in a drawing. Lone pairs of electrons are more common for depictions that emphasize bonding, as in simple gaseous molecules, such as ammonia and nitric oxide. Nonmolecular compounds, e.g. sodium hydride, are best represented with colour-coded spheres that emphasise packing.

  6. Gas exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_exchange

    Gas exchange is the physical process by which gases move passively by diffusion across a surface. For example, this surface might be the air/water interface of a water body, the surface of a gas bubble in a liquid, a gas-permeable membrane, or a biological membrane that forms the boundary between an organism and its extracellular environment.

  7. Dicobalt octacarbonyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicobalt_octacarbonyl

    Carbon monoxide dissociates from cobalt tetracarbonyl hydride to form the active catalyst, HCo(CO) 3; The cobalt centre π bonds to the alkene; The alkene ligand inserts into the cobalt–hydride bond; An additional carbonyl ligand coordinates; A carbonyl ligand migrates into the cobalt–alkyl bond [21] Dihydrogen adds to the acyl complex

  8. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    A bond angle is the geometric angle between two adjacent bonds. Some common shapes of simple molecules include: Linear: In a linear model, atoms are connected in a straight line. The bond angles are set at 180°. For example, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide have a linear molecular shape.

    The highest occupied molecular orbital of CO is a σ MO Energy level scheme of the σ and π orbitals of carbon monoxide The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of CO is a π* antibonding MO Diagram showing synergic π backbonding in transition metal carbonyls. Carbon monoxide bonds to transition metals using "synergistic pi* back ...
