The bottom row pair of structures have four bonds, but are destabilized by the high charge density on a single nitrogen atom. All the examples on this page demonstrate an important restriction that must be remembered when using resonance. No atoms change their positions within the common structural framework. Only electrons are moved. A more detailed model of covalent bonding requires a consideration of valence shell atomic orbitals.
The spatial distribution of electrons occupying each of these orbitals is shown in the diagram below. Very nice displays of orbitals may be found at the following sites: J. Gutow, Univ. Wisconsin Oshkosh R.
Spinney, Ohio State M. Winter, Sheffield University. If this were the configuration used in covalent bonding, carbon would only be able to form two bonds. In this case, the valence shell would have six electrons- two shy of an octet. However, the tetrahedral structures of methane and carbon tetrachloride demonstrate that carbon can form four equivalent bonds, leading to the desired octet. In order to explain this covalent bonding, Linus Pauling proposed an orbital hybridization model in which all the valence shell electrons of carbon are reorganized.
These hybrid orbitals have a specific orientation, and the four are naturally oriented in a tetrahedral fashion. Thus, the four covalent bonds of methane consist of shared electron pairs with four hydrogen atoms in a tetrahedral configuration, as predicted by VSEPR theory.
Molecular Orbitals Just as the valence electrons of atoms occupy atomic orbitals AO , the shared electron pairs of covalently bonded atoms may be thought of as occupying molecular orbitals MO. It is convenient to approximate molecular orbitals by combining or mixing two or more atomic orbitals. In general, this mixing of n atomic orbitals always generates n molecular orbitals.
The hydrogen molecule provides a simple example of MO formation. The bonding MO is occupied by two electrons of opposite spin, the result being a covalent bond. The notation used for molecular orbitals parallels that used for atomic orbitals. In the case of bonds between second period elements, p-orbitals or hybrid atomic orbitals having p-orbital character are used to form molecular orbitals.
For example, the sigma molecular orbital that serves to bond two fluorine atoms together is generated by the overlap of p-orbitals part A below , and two sp 3 hybrid orbitals of carbon may combine to give a similar sigma orbital. When these bonding orbitals are occupied by a pair of electrons, a covalent bond, the sigma bond results. Although we have ignored the remaining p-orbitals, their inclusion in a molecular orbital treatment does not lead to any additional bonding, as may be shown by activating the fluorine correlation diagram below.
Thus, pi-bonding is generally found only as a component of double and triple covalent bonds. Since carbon atoms involved in double bonds have only three bonding partners, they require only three hybrid orbitals to contribute to three sigma bonds. A mixing of the 2s-orbital with two of the 2p orbitals gives three sp 2 hybrid orbitals, leaving one of the p-orbitals unused. Two sp 2 hybridized carbon atoms are then joined together by sigma and pi-bonds a double bond , as shown in part B.
The manner in which atomic orbitals overlap to form molecular orbitals is actually more complex than the localized examples given above. These are useful models for explaining the structure and reactivity of many organic compounds, but modern molecular orbital theory involves the creation of an orbital correlation diagram. Two examples of such diagrams for the simple diatomic elements F 2 and N 2 will be drawn above when the appropriate button is clicked. The 1s and 2s atomic orbitals do not provide any overall bonding, since orbital overlap is minimal, and the resulting sigma bonding and antibonding components would cancel.
In both these cases three 2p atomic orbitals combine to form a sigma and two pi-molecular orbitals, each as a bonding and antibonding pair.
The overall bonding order depends on the number of antibonding orbitals that are occupied. One example of the advantage offered by the molecular orbital approach to bonding is the oxygen molecule. Here, the correlation diagram correctly accounts for the paramagnetic character of this simple diatomic compound.
Likewise, the orbital correlation diagram for methane provides another example of the difference in electron density predicted by molecular orbital calculations from that of the localized bond model.

The p-orbitals in these model are represented by red and blue colored spheres or ellipses, which represent different phases, defined by the mathematical wave equations for such orbitals.
Others include the manipulation of the isotopes mass through different processes which will achieve separation Gas centrifuge. The Girdler Sulfide Process is a form of purifying heavy water deuterium , from natural water. The heavy water acts as a neutron moderator for nuclear fission. In the Girdler Sulfide Process heavy water is extracted from natural water through a chemical reaction that exchanges deuterium between H 2 S and water.
In uranium enrichment, U is separated from U in order to create a concentration high enough for nuclear fuel to sustain fission. Uranium enrichment generally utilizes physical processes in order to do this. Fossil Fuels. Nuclear Fuels. Acid Rain.
But the electron interaction is strong enough to keep them on different levels, so to say. Fusion usually occurs under very high temperatures, where everything is in a plasma state, so naturally electrons are "standing aside", only the reaction cross-sections of the cores matter for the fusion process.
When the temperature is high enough, the cores have enough kinetic energy to overcome the Coulomb barrier on a direct hit. The cores pass their barrier and a sort of friction occurs, which causes internal excitation. The system is heating up. As long as the reaction partners are "mixed", i. During the process the system is rotating. Eventually the two partners will split up again.
During this reaction, their kinetic energy was mainly transformed into internal excitation and they exchanged mass. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

This is a well known factor in electrostatics and electromagnetism, and it applies equally well to polar covalent interactions. Since few functional groups are ionic in nature, organic chemists use the terms nucleophile and electrophile more commonly than anionic negative and cationic positive.
The following definitions should be remembered. A more detailed model of covalent bonding requires a consideration of valence shell atomic orbitals. The spatial distribution of electrons occupying each of these orbitals is shown in the diagram below. If this were the configuration used in covalent bonding, carbon would only be able to form two bonds.
These hybrid orbitals have a specific orientation, and the four are naturally oriented in a tetrahedral fashion. The hypervalent compounds described earlier and drawn below require 3d-orbital contributions to the bonding hybridization. PCl 5 is a trigonal bipyramid created by sp 3 d hybridization.
The octahedral configurations are formed by sp 3 d 2 hybridization. Click on the table to see these shapes.
