Molecular Orbital Theory

Chemical Bonding

분자 궤도 이론

定義

反応座標上のエネルギー障壁の頂点に存在する一時的な高エネルギーの原子配置であり、遷移状態錯体とも呼ばれる。

詳細な説明

Unlike valence bond theory, molecular orbital theory treats electrons as belonging to the molecule as a whole. The theory successfully explains paramagnetism in O2 and the stability of species like He2+ that other models cannot account for.
