Dihydroxybenzene, C6H6O2, exists in three forms (isomers) called ortho, meta, and para:
Which of these has a nonzero dipole moment?
Draw sketches illustrating the overlap between the following orbitals on two atoms: (a) the 2s orbital on each atom
Draw sketches illustrating the overlap between the following orbitals on two atoms: (b) the 2pz orbital on each atom (assume both atoms are on the z-axis)
Consider the molecule BF3. (c) What hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds in BF3?
Consider the SCl2 molecule. (c) What hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the S atom to make the S-Cl bonds in SCl2?
