Question

Please explain if the following are true or false and how you got your answer.

A. A molecule which contains polar bonds will always have a dipole moment.

B. Valence bond theory explains the bonding in diatomic molecules such as HCl without resortingto the use of hybrid orbitals.

C. In molecular orbital theory, combination of two atomic orbitals produces two molecular orbitals.

D. In applying molecular orbital theory, the bond order is calculated in the same way as with Lewis

structures.

E. In the valence bond treatment, overlap of an s orbital on one atom with an sp3 orbital

on another atom can give rise to a s bond
