    5: Chemical Bonding II - Molecular Geometry and Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals

    Key Topis for TRU students taking CHEM1500

    • Molecular geometry
    • dipole moment
    • Valence Bond theory
    • hybridization of atomic orbitals
    • hybridization of molecules containing multiple bonds
    • MO theory
    • energy level diagrams for homonuclear diatomics

    Key Learning Outcomes (Examples)

    • determine and justify the hybrid orbital type for non-terminal atoms in molecules and polyatomic ions based on Valence Bond Theory
    • predict molecular shapes based on Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory
    • complete molecular orbital energy diagrams for simple homo-nuclear bi-atomic molecules and ions to predict bond-order and magnetic properties
