Expected orbital splitting: s2p* p2p* p2p 2p s2p s2s* 2s 2s s2s The p do not split as much because of weaker overlap. 2p But the s and p along the internuclear axis DO interact E This pushes the s2p up..
Why does this happen? s-type orbitals have different energies depending on s-p interactions “pure” s and p orbitals O2 F2 Ne2 “pure” s-p hybrids B2 C2 N2

Energies of 1s and 2p orbitals are very different E = -RH Zeff2 / n2
Outcomes of MO Model • As bond order increases, bond energy increases and bond length decreases. • Bond order is not absolutely associated with a particular bond energy. • N2 has a triple bond, and a correspondingly high bond energy. • O2 is paramagnetic. This is predicted by the MO model, not by the LE model, which predicts diamagnetism.
Putting our bonding models together The VSEPR / hybridization approach is good at explaining shapes around a central atom in a molecule BUT, since it depends on keeping electrons in pairs at all times, it is not so good at predicting electron distributions (like in oxygen!) Is there a way to bring them together? Let’s go back to RESONANCE
Double bonds involve interacting p orbitals, outside of the bonding line p-p antibonding p-p bonding spread over whole molecule p-p non-bonding
We can make a similar p molecular orbital for the nitrate ion too!
Combining our 2 Models • bondscan be described as being localized. • bondingmust be treated as being delocalized.
