p orbital in a sentence
Examples
- Each p orbital on one atom overlaps one on the other atom, forming two pi bonds, giving a total of three bonds.
- Bonding usually discussed in the context of molecular orbital theory, which recognizes the triple bond as arising from overlap of s and p orbitals.
- For transition metal centres, the d and s orbitals are the primary valence orbitals, which are only weakly supplemented by the p orbitals.
- BUT we lose one p orbital to that pair of electrons stolen for aromaticity, so instead of sp3 we're downgraded to sp2!
- :I'm not sure that make sense, unless there is significant overlap between the bonding energies of the s and p orbitals.
- The stereoelectronic effects that affect the quilibrium is the interaction between the delocalized banana bonds and the empty p orbital on the boron atom.
- The question of whether the p orbitals actually participate in bonding has not been definitively resolved, but all studies indicate they play a minor role.
- However, the 2s can mix with the 2p orbitals in diberyllium, whereas there are no p orbitals in the valence level of hydrogen or helium.
- Rotation about the carbon carbon double bond is restricted because it incurs an energetic cost to break the alignment of the p orbitals on the two carbon atoms.
- As they had before a nearly closed filled p orbital ( 5 instead of 6 electrons ), the two paired electrons now sort of close off both orbitals.
