Overview of VSEPR Theory
Valence shell electron-pair repulsion theory (VSEPR theory) enables us to predict the molecular structure, including approximate …
Effect of Lone Pairs of Electrons on Molecule Geometry
It is important to note that electron-pair geometry around a central atom is not the same …
VSEPR Theory for Determination of Electron Pair Geometries
The following procedure uses VSEPR theory to determine the electron pair geometries and the …
Dipole Moment of a Molecule
Polar covalent bonds connect two atoms with differing electronegativities, leaving one atom with a partial positive charge …
Overview of Valence Bond Theory
Valence bond theory describes a covalent bond as the overlap of half-filled atomic orbitals (each containing a single …
The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an …
sp3d and sp3d 2 Hybridization
To describe the five bonding orbitals in a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement, we must use five of the valence shell …
Overview of Molecular Orbital Theory
Molecular orbital theory describes the distribution of electrons in molecules in the same way as the distribution of …
Molecular Orbital Energy Diagrams
The relative energy levels of atomic and molecular orbitals are typically shown in a molecular orbital diagram. For a …
We present a method for visualizing laser-induced, ultrafast molecular rotational wave packet dynamics. We have developed a new 2-dimensional Coulomb …
Water/solid interfaces are ubiquitous and play a key role in many environmental, biophysical, and technological processes. Resolving the internal …
Rational design of disordered molecular aggregates and solids for optoelectronic applications relies on our ability to predict the properties of such …
