When we combine the orbitals from our two oxygens to form molecular orbitals, the s -orbital will interact with each other, and the p -orbital will combine with each other.
00:11
So the s -orbital are going to form a sigma -bonding orbital and a sigma -antibonding orbital.
00:20
Our p -orbital are going to form a sigma -bonding orbital, two pi -bonding orbitals, two -pie -antibonding orbitals, and one -sigma -antibonding orbital.
00:36
So our final molecular orbital diagram will look like this, where the pi orbitals are inside of the sigma orbitals and where we have a set of signal orbitals being formed by the s orbitals.
00:55
So now we get to fill it up with electrons.
00:58
So each of our oxygens starts off with six electrons in its valent shell.
01:06
So we give each oxygen six electrons.
01:10
Now we just fill them up from low to high.
01:13
So first we fill our sigma orbitals.
01:15
From the s electrons, and these are going to cancel each other out...
