Structure of O2 molecule and N2 molecule based on vbt is O=O and N≡N
Explanation:
For oxygen molecule -
- The electronic configuration of O is
- if the py orbital of one oxygen atom overlaps the py orbital of the other oxygen atom along with the internuclear axis a sigma bond is formed.
- If the py orbital of one of the oxygen atoms overlaps laterally with the py of other oxygen atoms along the internuclear axis a bond will be formed.
- Pz orbital of oxygen atom will overlap laterally perpendicular to the internuclear axis giving a π pz – pz bond.
- Thus oxygen will have a double bond between the oxygen atoms
For nitrogen molecule -
- The electronic configuration of N is
- if the py orbital of one nitrogen atom overlaps the py orbital of the other nitrogen atom along with the internuclear axis a sigma bond is formed.
- If the py orbital of one of the nitrogen atoms overlaps laterally with the py of other nitrogen atoms along the internuclear axis a bond will be formed.
- Pz orbital of nitrogen atom will overlap laterally perpendicular to the internuclear axis giving a π pz – pz bond.
- There are six electrons shared between the two nitrogen atoms forming a triple bond
- Thus nitrogen will have a triple bond between the nitrogen atoms
