In oxygen molecule MOT,since last electrons are going in pi orbital, then how O2 has 1 sigma and 1 pi bond?
Answers
Answer:
Okay so for this molecule there is only one σ bond and one Π bond because there is a double bond between the two atoms.
The notation of : σs, σ*s, ΠPx,ΠPy,σPz,Π*Px,Π*Py, and σ*Pz are just orbitals that exist within those bonds. The notation does not indicate that each is a different σ or Π bond.
1) Energy Level:
Bonding has a lower energy than anti-bonding. When full-filled, the energy gained from having a bond and the energy lost from the anti-bond results in no net energy; as in they cancel each other out. Think of two vectors with the same magnitude but opposite directions.
Therefore, if we ignore the combination of full-filled bonding and anti-bonding and consider what's left, we have
Energy(σ2p2) = 1 sigma bond
Enery(Π2p4) + Energy(Π*2p2) (half-filled) = Energy(Π2p2) = 1 pi orbital.
1 pi and 1 sigma - this satisfies as sp hybridization.
