- What modification to the molecular orbital model was made from the experimental evidence that B2 is paramagnetic?arrow_forwardThe percent ionic character of the bonds in several interhalogen Molecules (as estimated from their measured dipole moments and bond lengths) are ClF (11%), BrF(15%), BrCl (5.6%), ICl(5.8%), and IBr (10%). Estimate the percent ionic characters for each of these molecules, using the equation in Problem 37, and compare them with the given values.arrow_forwardGive the Lewis structure, molecular structure, and hybridization of the oxygen atom for OF2. Would you expect OF2 to be a strong oxidizing agent like O2F2 discussed in Exercise 61?arrow_forward
