How to Draw Heteronuclear MO Diagrams: NO, HCl, and Bond Order
Confused by Heteronuclear Molecular Orbitals? In this lesson, I explain how to draw MO diagrams for molecules with different atoms (like NO and HCl) and why electronegativity makes these diagrams "skewed." In this video, we cover: Why different atoms result in asymmetrical energy levels. How to calculate the bond order for Nitric Oxide (NO). How MO theory explains lone pairs (non-bonding orbitals) in HCl. Predicting polarity and dipole moments using orbital energy.
