Question

The molecule of hydrogen atom is formed
due to the overlapping of orbitals of two
hydrogen atoms. Which of the following
types of overlapping takes place in the
formation of H2
molecule ?

Answer 1

Answer:

by overlapping of h2o and nitrogen

Answer 2

Answer:

The molecule of hydrogen atom is formed due to the overlapping of orbitals of two hydrogen atoms. Direct overlapping of 1s orbital of both Hydrogen atom takes place in the formation of H2 molecule.

Explanation:

• The electronic configuration of the Hydrogen atom is 1s¹.
• So the Hydrogen atom has only one electron in its outermost shell.
• It makes bond with another Hydrogen atom by the covalent bond.
• As it has only one electron in its outermost shell it will be difficult for Hydrogen atom to lose or accept an electron to do form cation or anion .
• So Hydrogen atom prefers covalent bonding with another Hydrogen atom to form Hydrogen molecule.
• The outermost orbital 1s of Hydrogen atom overlaps with the outermost orbital 1s of another Hydrogen atom to form duplet in its outermost shell.
• As the two overlapping orbitals are s orbital, direct overlapping occurs between these two orbitals.
