mot(molecular orbital theory) is different for above 14 electron
Dear student,
Electronic configuration of molecules containing 14 or less electrons :
Electronic configuration of molecules containing 14 or less electrons :
Electronic configuration of molecules containing 15 or more electrons :
- This difference is dependent on the decreasing value of 's-p bonding interactions' i.e. bond interactions between 2s orbital of one atom and 2p of another atom.
- Now on moving from left to right in the periodic table i.e. from , the energy difference between 2s and 2p orbitals increases due to increase in nuclear charge and lower shielding of 2s electrons by 2p electrons.
- Due to which, increasing s-p interactions on becomes less important.
- Hence, after molecule the energy of molecular orbital becomes lower than that of .
