The Valence-bond Method
Valence bond method considers the covalent bond as a result of overlap of atomic orbitals. Electrons stay in regions between the two atoms. Some bond examples s-s H-H Li-H s-p H-C H-N H-F s-d p-p H-Pd C-C in Pd P-P hydride p-d Se-F d-d Fe-Fe (?)

But overlapping of simple atomic orbitals does not explain all the features. Thus, we have to take another look, or do something about atomic orbitals – hybridization. How does valence-bond approach explain the formation of chemicalTheories bonds? of chemical bonding

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals
The solutions of Schrodinger equation led to these atomic orbitals. 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 3d, 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f, etc. However, overlap of these orbitals does not give a satisfactory explanation. In order to explain bonding, these orbitals are combined to form new set of orbitals – this method is called hybridization.

During the lecture, these hybridized orbitals will be explained: sp 2 sp hybrid orbitals from mixing of a s and a p orbital sp 2 3 sp2 hybrid orbitals from mixing of a s and 2 p orbital sp3 fill in you explanation please sp3d 5 sp3d hybrid orbitals from mixing of a s and 3 p and a d orbital sp3d 2 ____________

Why Molecular Orbital (MO) Theory
Lewis dot and valence bond theories do not always give satisfactory account for various properties of molecules.

For example, the dot and VB theory does not explain the fact that O2 is paramagnetic and has a double bond.
Dot and VB structures are unsatisfactory.

MO theory, different from VB in that MO theory considers the orbitals of the whole molecules. However the approach of linear-combination-ofatomic-orbitals (LCAO) is usually used. There are other reasons, but it’s human nature to theorize. The theory is beautiful, and worth learning or teaching.
Theories of chemical bonding 20

For a molecule, there are certain orbitals each of which accommodates two electrons of opposite spin. The MO theory combines atomic orbitals (AO) to form MOs, & this method is called LCAO s* The two atoms in the H2 molecule may be represented by A and B. Their s orbitals 1sA and 1sB respectively, are used for two MOs: s* = 1sA – 1sB s = 1sA + 1sB The energy levels of these AO and MO are represented by the diagram here, with the math hidden.

This diagram from my CaCt website accounts for the sp mixing of the AO for the bonding consideration. This sp mixing effect is more detailed than that required for freshman chemistry (not to be tested). The sp mixing of AO gives stronger s2s bond and a weaker s*2s bond. Thus, the split from 2s is not even. Effects on other bonds are also shown, but qualitatively.

Benzene
The benzene structure has fascinated scientists for centuries. It’s bonding is particularly interesting. The C atom utilizes sp2 hybrid AO in the sigma bonds, and the remaining p AO overlap forming a ring of p bonds.

Sigma s bonds are represented by lines, and the p orbitals for the p bonds are shown by balloon-shape blobs. Note the + and – signs of the p orbitals. Thus, we represent it by

Joy on structure of benzene – a story
Kathleen Londsdale (1903-1971) came from a very poor family in Kildare who moved to Essex when she was five. She studied physics, math and chemistry at school and went to college in London when she was 16, where she did extremely well. She was offered a place in the research team of William Bragg, so starting her life's work on X-ray crystallography.

In 1929 she showed, by her analysis of hexamethyl benzene, that the benzene ring was flat. Benzene has fascinated scientists, and its precise structure was a matter of controversy till then.
In 1945 she was elected the first ever woman Fellow of the Royal Society. She was also created a Dame Commander of the Order of the Brittish Empire in 1956.
