Hydrogen Molecular Orbital Diagram

"Hydrogen Molecular Orbital Diagram"

Those who control heaven and earth are the reverse journeys of all things; those who pass through time are the passers-by of hundreds of generations. Observing the changes of all things, exploring the wonders of the microscopic, the diagram of the hydrogen molecular orbit is the key to understanding its structure.

Hydrogen is the beginning of the element, and the atom is the simplest. Two hydrogen atoms come together to form a hydrogen molecule. To understand the principle of its combination, the image of the molecular orbit must be studied.

In the hydrogen molecular orbit diagram, the atomic orbit interacts. The 1s orbital of two hydrogen atoms has the situation of constructive interference and destructive interference. The bonding molecular orbitals formed by constructive interference have a lower energy than the atomic orbitals, and the electrons enter here, and the molecules tend to be stable; the destructive interference forms an anti-bonding molecular orbitals with a higher energy, and the electrons enter here, and the molecular stability decreases.

The filling of electrons is based on the principle of lowest energy, the Pauli exclusion principle and the Hunt rule. The two electrons in the hydrogen molecule enter the bonding molecular orbitals, so that the hydrogen molecule can exist stably. This diagram, like a navigational compass, points out the direction for exploring the structure and properties of molecules, and helps our generation to travel freely in the microscopic world, to understand the root cause of material changes, and to explore the secrets of chemistry.
