Bonding is driven by stabilization of electrons• Electrons are negatively charged
• Nuclei are positively charged
The bonding combination puts electron density between the two nuclei - stabilization
The antibonding combination moves electron density away from the nuclei - destabilization

Filling Molecular Orbitals with Electrons
1) Orbitals are filled in order of increasing Energy( Aufbau principle )
2) An orbital has a maximum capacity of two electrons with opposite spins ( Pauli exclusion principle )
3) Orbitals of equal energy are half filled, with spins parallel, before any is filled ( Hund’s rule )

B, C, and N all have ≤ 1/2 filled 2p orbitals
When does s-p mixing occur?
O, F, and Xe all have > 1/2 filled 2p orbitals
• Having > 1/2 filled 2p orbitals raises the energies of these orbitals due to e- - e – repulsion: Electrons repel each other because they are negatively charged. • If 2 electrons are forced to be in the same orbital, their energies go up.(This is the basis of Hund’s Rule for orbital filling.)
s-p mixing only occurs when the s and p atomic orbitals are close in energy (≤ 1/2 filled 2p orbitals)

Sample Problem:Using MO Theory to Explain Bond Properties
Problem: Consider the following data for these homonuclear diatomic species: N2 N2
+ O2 O2+
Bond energy (kJ/mol) 945 841 498 623Bond length (pm) 110 112 121 112No. of valence electrons 10 9 12 11
Removing an electron from N2 decreases the bond energy of the resulting ion, whereas removing an electron from O2 increases thebond energy of the resulting ion. Explain these facts using M.O diagrams.
Plan: We first draw the MO energy levels for the four species, recalling that they differ for N2 and O2. Then we determine thebond orders and compare them with the data: bond order is related directly to bond energy and inversely to bond length.

HF
Electronegativity
Because F (χ = 4.0) is more electronegative than H (χ = 2.2), the electrons move closer to F. (Table 13.2 for electronegativities)
This gives rise to a polar bond: H F
