Question

A drawing of the O-H ?* orbital of water is shown in Figure 1. It might help you to complete the MO diagrams in Figure 2.

A drawing of the O-H ?* orbital of water is shown in Figure 1. It might help you to complete the MO diagrams in Figure 2. For the ?* orbital of hydronium ion, the orbital density on hydrogen will be {larger than, smaller than, the same as} the corresponding orbital density in the ?* orbital of water. For the ?* orbital of hydronium ion, the orbital density on oxygen will be {larger than, smaller than, the same as} the corresponding orbital density in the ?* orbital of water.

Explanation / Answer

For the ?* orbital of hydronium ion, the orbital density on hydrogen will be {larger than } the corresponding orbital density in the ?* orbital of water. For the ?* orbital of hydronium ion, the orbital density on oxygen will be {smaller than} the corresponding orbital density in the ?* orbital of water.
