1.8.2 Application of VB Theory: Formation of Hydrogen Molecule
Let HA and HB represent the nucleus and e1 and e2 the electrons of the two hydrogen atoms, respectively. In

where 1 and 2 represent the electrons. Consider, the formation of a molecule of hydrogen from two hydrogen atoms H
and HB. When the atoms
A
are separated by large distances, there is essentially no attraction between them and, therefore, the energy of isolated system is taken to be zero. But as they approach each other, they experience new attractive forces
between the nucleus of HA and the electron of H
and vice versa. repulsive forces operate between their
B
electrons. These attractive and repulsive forces are shown in Fig. 1.10.

While the attractive forces tend to decrease the potential energy of the system, the repulsive forces tend to increase it. Since the attractive forces dominate over the repulsive forces, the potential energy of the system begins to decrease (Fig. 1.11). This decrease in energy of the system continues up to a certain equilibrium distance (d0 =74pm)betweenthetwohydrogenatoms,whentheattractiveandrepulsiveforcesjustbalance each other and the potential energy of the system becomes minimum. A chemical bond is said to have been formed between the hydrogen atoms at this distance. This equilibrium distance between the nuclei of two
atomsatwhichattractiveandrepulsiveforcesjustbalanceeachotherandthepotentialenergyofthesystem
is minimum is referred to as bond length.
However, if the two hydrogen atoms are pushed further closer than the equilibrium distance (d0), the repulsive forces overpower the attractive forces and hence the energy of the system begins to increase, as shown in Fig. 1.11.
Thus, it may be concluded that the formation of a chemical bond between atoms is always accompanied by decrease in energy of the system. Obviously, the greater the decrease in energy, the lower will be the energy of the system and stronger will be the bond formed. On the other hand, if the same amount of energy is supplied to a molecule, the bonded atoms will tend to separate, i.e. bond will break. Evidently the stronger the bond, the greater will be the amount of energy required to break it. This is commonly expressed in terms of bond energy andmaybedenedastheenergyrequiredtobreakonemoleofbondsofthesame kind. For example, the bond energy for H–H bond is 433 kJ mole–1.
1.8.3 Limitations of Valence Bond Theory
In an ionic solid, the ions are held together by electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. But according to valence bond theory, a covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between the two atoms. Thus, this theory assumes that one of the electrons from the outer shell of one of the atoms spends a part of the time in the outer shell of the other atom and vice versa.
C H A P T E R 1 Structure and Properties
In this theory, we assume the following:
1. Electrons in molecules are located as if they are present in separate atoms.
2. Electrons maintain their characteristics even in the presence of other atoms.
3. The wave function of a molecule is the product of the atomic wave function of the individual atoms.
Wendthefollowinglimitationsintheseassumptions:
1. If we consider the last assumption, we see that the presence of the other nuclei should affect the
electronic arrangement of all the atoms in the molecule.
2. Except for H
+
,themathematicalcalculationsinmostofthesystemsareverydifcultandforthatwe
2
have to use approximate methods.
3. It is not possible to write a single structure to explain the various features of an ion/molecule and
for that we have to write various resonance forms. Thus we can say that the true structure is only a resonance hybrid of these structures.
4. It does not explain the paramagnetic character of oxygen.
In spite of the limitations, valence bond theory nds extensive applications in determination of the
geometry of the molecule and ions qualitatively.
An alternate theory to describe the formation of chemical bond is known as molecular orbital theory.
33
1.9 MOLECULAR ORBITAL (MO) THEORY
There is another approach to chemical bonding known as molecular orbital (MO) theory, developed mainly by Mulliken (1932), which explains the bonding characteristics in a better way.
The molecular orbital theory considers the entire molecule as a unit with all the electrons moving under theinuenceofallthenucleipresentinthemolecule.Thisapproachrecognizesthateach electron belongs to the molecule as a whole and may move within the entire molecule.
Molecular Orbitals
When the atoms to be bonded come close together, the orbitals of the bonded atoms lose their individual character and fuse (overlap) to form larger orbitals called molecular orbitals. Thus, like atomic orbitals,
there are molecular orbitals in a molecule. The only difference is that in atomic orbitals, electrons move
undertheinuenceofonlyone nucleus (i.e. AOs are monocentric), while in molecular orbitals, electrons moveundertheinuenceofmanynuclei(i.e.MOsarepolycentric).
Molecularorbitalsmay,therefore,be denedas theregions inspace associatedwith allthenuclei of themoleculewheretheprobabilityofndingaparticularelectronismaximum.Asinthecaseofatomic
orbitals, each molecular orbital can accommodate at the most two electrons with opposite spins.
Itmaybenotedthatelectronsinmolecularorbitalsarenotconnedtoanindividualatom,buttheybelong
to the entire molecule and are said to be delocalized with respect to the individual atoms. Some important features of molecular orbital theory are as follows:
1. Like an atomic orbital which is around the nucleus of an atom, there are molecular orbitals which are
around the nuclei of a molecule.

 3. Thevalence electronsoftheconstituentatomsareconsideredtobemoving undertheinuenceof
nuclei of participating atoms in the molecular orbital.
4. The molecular orbitals possess different energy levels like atomic orbitals in an isolated atom.
5. The shapes of molecular orbitals are dependent on the shapes of atomic orbitals from which they are
formed.
 6. Molecularorbitalsarearrangedinorderofincreasingenergyjustlikeatomicorbitals.
7. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals combining in bond
formation.
 8. Likeatomicorbitals,thellingofelectronsinmolecularorbitalsisgovernedbythethreeprinciples
such Aufbau principle, Hund’s rule and Pauli’s exclusion principle.
The shape of molecular orbital formed in case of valence bond approach depicts that the identity of atomic orbitals is not lost, whereas in case of molecular orbital approach the original identity of atomic orbitals is completely lost.
The main difference between VBT and MOT is that the molecular orbitals formed in a compound are quite different from the constituent atomic orbitals. When the atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals, they lose their identity and merge into each other completely.

1.9.1 Conditions of Formation of Molecular Orbitals
1. For the atomic orbitals to combine and form molecular orbitals, the following conditions must be
satised:
a. The combining atomic orbitals should be of a comparable energy. For example, 1s atomic orbitals
of two atoms can combine but 1s orbital of one atom cannot combine with 2s orbital of the other.
Similarly 2s orbitals cannot combine with 2p orbital. Such combinations are possible only for the
heteronuclear diatomic molecular of the type AB.
35
b. The combining atomic orbitals must overlap to a
large extent: greater the overlap, stable is the molecule formed. The combining atomic orbitals must have proper orientation so that they are able to overlap to a considerable extent.
For instance, overlapping is not possible if s and p orbitals with orientations shown in Fig. 1.13 (a) approach each other.
REMEMBER
Symmetry of σ and π electron clouds
Always remember that, in case of σ bond, the electron density around the internuclear axis is symmetrical while in case of π electron density is more concentrated above and below the internuclear axis and hence has unsymmetrical distribution.
Figure 1.13 (a) py and py orbitals will combine as they have same symmetry about x axis. (b) px and py orbitals will not combine as they do not have symmetry about x axis.
It may be mentioned here that orbitals that do not have the correct symmetry for combination (e.g. px and py) are called nonbonding as there is no overall change in energy. Any stabilization that occurs from overlapping + with + is neutralized by an equal amount of overlapping of + with –.
2. Thus on the basis of symmetry, the allowed and forbidden combinations of various atomic orbitals are
shown in Tables 1.1 and 1.2, assuming x axis as the internuclear axis. Some combinations have been shown in Figs. 1.14 (a), (b), (c) and (d).

MEMORY FOCUS
Valence bond theory was proposed by Heitler and London (1927) and modified by Pauling and Slater.1. The postulates of valence bond theory are as follows: 2. a. A covalent bond is formed by the overlapping of orbitals with unpaired electrons having opposite
spins. b. The greater the extent of overlapping, greater is the strength of the bond. c. Overlapping takes place only in the direction of maximum electron density of the orbital. d. The overlapping of orbitals depends on the sizes and shapes of the orbitals. e. The relative strength of overlapping of orbitals follows the order pp > s–p > s–s. The 3. ss overlapping in H The two 4. p orbitals can overlap along their axis leading to sigma bonds and lateral overlap leading to the formation of π bonds. The overlapping along the axis is also known as Lateral overlapping is also known as 5.

1.10 FORMATION OF BONDING AND ANTIBONDING MOLECULAR ORBITALS (LCAO METHOD)
An electron in an atom is described by a wave function, ψ, called an atomic orbital. Similarly, the behaviour of an electron in a molecule is described by a molecular wave function called the molecular orbital. The most convenient way of working out the wave functions for molecular orbitals is to adopt the method of linear combination of atomic orbital (LCAO).
Quantum mechanics show that linear combination of two functions gives not one but two combinations
and hence two molecular orbitals, a bonding orbital and an antibonding orbital.

2. Subtraction when two waves are not in phase: Similarly, the subtractive effect of the electron waves

1.10.1 Bonding and Antibonding Molecular Orbitals in Terms of Wave Functions
We can interpret bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals by considering the interacting AOs as each being a stationary wave, having a crest (+ sign) and a trough (– sign) as shown in Fig. 1.17. It may be
mentioned here that signs (+) and (–) simply determine the symmetry of the wave functions and have nothing to do with the electrical charges.
Figure 1.17 Stationary wave showing crest (+) and trough (-).

PHARMACEuTICAL ORgAnIC CHEMISTRy
When the two functions interact in such a way that crest (+ sign) of one coincides with the crest (+ sign) of the other, i.e. when the wave functions of the combining atomic orbitals are in phase and reinforce each other, we got a resultant wave corresponding to a bonding molecular orbital. In other words, bonding molecular orbitals is formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals with the same sign.
On the other hand, when the two wave functions interact so that the crest (+ sign) of one coincides with the trough (– sign) of the other, i.e. when the wave functions of the combining atomic orbitals are out of phase and cancel each other, we get a resultant wave corresponding to an antibonding molecular orbital is formed by the combination of atomic orbitals with opposite signs.

1.11 COMBINATION OF ATOMIC ORBITALS—SIGMA (s) AND PI (p) MOLECULAR ORBITALS
IntheMOtheory,orbitalsareidentiedσ or π depending on the type of the symmetry of the molecular orbital. A sigma (σ) molecular orbital is one that has cylindrical symmetry around the internuclear axis, i.e. it does not show any change of sign on rotation through 180º about the axis (Fig. 1.18). Alternatively, it can be said that a sigma molecular orbital has no nodal plane (in which the electron density is zero) along the internuclear axis.
The bonding orbital is designated simply as σ orbital and antibonding as σ*. Such a sigma (σ) orbital is also formed when any two p-atomic orbitals overlap in end-on (along their
axis) position (Fig. 1.19).
When atomic orbitals overlap laterally (side-to-side), the resulting molecular orbital is called a pi (p) orbital. A π-type orbital does not possess cylindrical symmetry about the internuclear axis, i.e. if we rotate this molecular orbitals through 180º, it will change sign. In contrast to σ-orbital, π-MO has a nodal plane (zero electron density) along the internuclear axis as shown in Fig. 1.20.
