  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. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

    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]

  4. Hückel method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hückel_method

    Transition electric dipole, magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments interactions result in optical rotation(OR), which can be described by both tensor components and chemical geometries. The in phase overlap of two molecular orbitals yield negative charge while depleting charge out of phase.

  5. 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 ...

  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. Linear combination of atomic orbitals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_combination_of...

    A linear combination of atomic orbitals or LCAO is a quantum superposition of atomic orbitals and a technique for calculating molecular orbitals in quantum chemistry. [1] In quantum mechanics, electron configurations of atoms are described as wavefunctions.

  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. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    The MO diagram for diboron (B-B, electron configuration 1σ g 2 1σ u 2 2σ g 2 2σ u 2 1π u 2) requires the introduction of an atomic orbital overlap model for p orbitals. The three dumbbell-shaped p-orbitals have equal energy and are oriented mutually perpendicularly (or orthogonally).
