Question
Draw an energy diagram for HCl. Predict the bond order and make a sketch of the lowest energy bonding molecular orbital.
Step 1
On the y-axis, we have energy. On the x-axis, we have the atomic orbitals for H and Cl. The 3s orbital for Cl is filled and there are two non-bonding electrons. The 1s orbital for H has a single electron. The 3p orbitals for Cl have five electrons. Show more…
