. COURSE OUTCOME:
Compiled by
When addition of wave function takes place, the type of molecular orbitals formed are
called Bonding Molecular orbitals and is represented by ΨMO = ΨA + ΨB.
They have lower energy than atomic orbitals involved. It is similar to constructive
interference occurring in phase because of which electron probability density increases
resulting in formation of bonding orbital.
Molecular orbital formed by addition of overlapping of two s orbitals . It is represented
by s.
Anti-Bonding Molecular Orbitals:
When molecular orbital is formed by subtraction of wave function, the type of molecular
orbitals formed are called Antibonding Molecular Orbitals and is represented by ΨMO =
ΨA -ΨB.
They have higher energy than atomic orbitals. It is similar to destructive interference
occurring out of phase resulting in formation of antibonding orbitals.
Molecular Orbital formed by subtraction of overlapping of two s orbitals.
It is represented by s* [(*) is used to represent antibonding molecular orbital) called
Sigma Antibonding.
3. Calculate the bond order for molecule N2,O2,F2?
Bond order:
It may be defined as the half of difference between the number of electrons present in the
bonding orbitals and the antibonding orbitals that is,
Bond order (B.O.) = (No. of electrons in BMO - No. of electrons in ABMO)/ 2
Bond order of N2:
Bond Order = (8 - 6) = 1
In F-F there are no unpaired electrons, so the molecule is diamagnetic.
According to LCAO method ,the molecular orbital wave function Ψmo is formed by the linear
combination of the wave functions of the individual atomic orbitals ΨA and ΨB
1. Molecular orbital is formed by the addition of wave function of atomic orbitals.It can be
represented as
Ψ(mo) = ΨA + ΨB.
This molecular orbital is called Bonding molecular orbital.
2. Molecular orbital is formed by the subtraction of wave function of atomic orbitals. It can be
represented as
Ψ*(mo) = ΨA –ΨB
This molecular orbital is called Antibonding molecular orbital.
7. What is doping and dopant?
Doping:
The process by which impurity is adding in semiconductor to enhance their conductivity is called
doping.
Dopant:
A dopant also called a doping agent is a trace impurity element that is inserted into a
substance(in very low concentrations) to increase the electrical properties of the substances.
8. How the materials are classified based on Band theory or Fermi energy gap?
Based on the band theory materials are classified into three types
1. Conductors 2.Insulators 3.Semi-Conductor
The gap between the valence band and conduction band is called Fermi energy gap.
1. In conductor, the valence band and conduction band overlap,so there is no band gap.
2. In insulators there is large band gap between valence band and conduction band.
3.In semiconductor, there is a small band gap between valence band and conduction band.so the
electrons can promote from V.B to C.B with rise in temperature or by adding dopants.
9. How to predict the magnetic nature and magnetic momentum of molecules and metal
complexes ?
In MOED diagram,if all electrons are paired the molecule is diagmanetic. If single or unpaired
electrons are present in the molecule is paramagnetic.
Oxygen Molecule O2 :
Bond Order = (8 - 6) = 1
In F-F there are no unpaired electrons, so the molecule is diamagnetic.
2. Draw and explain the Pi molecular orbitals of Butadiene ?
Notice how the number of nodes and the number of anti-bonding interactions increases as
you go up the diagram above.
Where ᴪ 1 to ᴪ 6 are the wave functions of six Pz –orbitals. C1 to C6 are their respective coefficients.
4. Explain the crystal field splitting of transition metal ion d-orbitals in octahedral
complexes?
In tetrahedral complex, the four ligand occupy alternate corners of a cube and the metal
ion is placed in the centre.
Here the d-orbitals are not pointed directly towards the ligands.The non axial orbitals
( dxy, dyz & dzx) are closer to ligands than dz 2 and dx 2-dy 2 (axial orbitals).
Therefore the energy of t2g orbitals is raised and eg orbitals is lowered from centre.
The crystal field splitting in tetrahedral complex is represented by Δ t (t= tetrahedral)
The energy of t2g orbitals is incresed by2/5 Δt or 0.4 Δt. and the energy of eg orbitals
decresed by3/5 Δt or 0.6 Δt .
Δt = 4/9 Δo or Δt = 0.45 Δo
In square planar complex two ligands on the z-axis of an octahedron are removed from
the complex, leaving only the ligands in the x-y plane. As the z-ligands move away, the
ligands in the square plane move a little closer to the metal.
The orbital splitting diagram for square planar coordination can thus be derived from the
octahedral diagram.
As ligands move away along the z-axis, d-orbitals with a z-component will fall in
energy.
The dz2 orbital falls the most, as its electrons are concentrated in lobes along the z-axis.
The dxz and dyz orbitals also drop in energy, but not as much.
Conversely, the dx2-y2 and the dxy orbitals increase in energy. The splitting diagram for
square planar complexes is more complex than for octahedral and tetrahedral complexes,
and is shown below with the relative energies of each orbital.
Doping means the introduction of impurities into a semiconductor. Two of the most important
materials silicon can be doped with, are boron (3 valence electrons = 3-valent) and phosphorus (5
valence electrons = 5-valent).
Other materials are aluminium, indium (3-valent) and arsenic, antimony (5-valent).
The dopant is integrated into the lattice structure of the semiconductor crystal, the number of
outer electrons define the type of doping. Elements with 3 valence electrons are used for p-
type doping, 5-valued elements for n-doping.
n-doping
The 5-valent dopant has an outer electron more than the silicon atoms. Four outer electrons
combine with ever one silicon atom, while the fifth electron is free to move and serves as
charge carrier.
This free electron requires much less energy to be lifted from the valence band into the
conduction band, than the electrons which cause the intrinsic conductivity of silicon. The
dopant, which emits an electron, is known as an electron donor (donare, lat. = to give).
The dopants are positively charged by the loss of negative charge carriers and are built into
the lattice, only the negative electrons can move.
Doped semimetals whose conductivity is based on free (negative) electrons are n-type or n-
doped. Due to the higher number of free electrons those are also named as majority charge
carriers, while free mobile holes are named as the minority charge carriers.
-doping with phosphorus
Doped semiconductors are electrically neutral. The terms n- and p-type doped do only
refer to the majority charge carriers. Each positive or negative charge carrier belongs to a fixed
negative or positive charged dopant.
N- and p-doped semiconductors behave approximately equal in relation to the current
flow. With increasing amount of dopants, the number of charge carriers increases in the
semiconductor crystal.
it requires only a very small amount of dopants. Weakly doped silicon crystals contain
only 1 impurity per 1,000,000,000 silicon atoms, high doped semiconductors for example
contain 1 foreign atom per 1,000 silicon atoms.
Electronic band structure in doped semiconductors
By the introduction of a dopant with five outer electrons, in n-doped semiconductors
there is an electron in the crystal which is not bound and therefore can be moved with relatively
little energy into the conduction band.
Thus in n-doped semiconductors the donator energy level is close to the conduction band
edge, the band gap to overcome is very small.
Analog, through introduction of a 3-valent dopant in a semiconductor, a hole is available,
which may be already occupied at low-energy by an electron from the valence band of the
silicon. For p-doped semiconductors the acceptor energy level is close the valence band.
7. Explain how the atomic orbitals combine to form bonding and antibonding molecular
orbitals?or LCAO
They have lower energy than atomic orbitals involved. It is similar to constructive
interference occurring in phase because of which electron probability density increases
resulting in formation of bonding orbital.
In order to understand the band theory of solids, let us imagine the construction of crystal
lithium metal by adding Li atoms like Li2, Li3------------Lin
Explanation:
Similarly in Lin the n-s atomic orbitals overlap to form a band of n closely space MO
Example:
Formation of various bands, can be explained with the example of lithium crystal.
1s Band:
This is called non-conduction band.It is formed by the combination of completely filled orbitals.
2s Band:
This is called valency band as it is half filled. The upper half of the this band is empty, while the
lower half is completely filled.Since the energy difference between these two halves is very
small,the electrons can move from lower half to lower half.
2p Band:
This is called vacant band or overlapping band. Since 2s and 2p energy levels are close to each
other, these two orbitals can overlap, so that the electrons 2s orbitals can move to 2p
orbitals.Thus it is also called conduction band.
