Physical Chemistry
Chemical BondingThis scientist led a series of experiments that used high-speed lightweight atoms called alpha particles to bombard very thin pieces of gold foil. Some of the alpha particles went straight through the foil, but a few alpha particles bounced back. The scientist used this information to hypothesize that an atom must be made of a tiny dense nucleus surrounded by a region of mostly empty space.

Chemical BondingDraw a Lewis structure for each atom. Using Energy Diagrams for the Red/bold-faced atoms, show how all bonds (including single, double, and triple between the red atom, as well as bonds with hydrogen atoms) form. Remember that each bond MUST contain one electron from each atom. Single (sigma) bonds come hybrid orbitals, while double and triple bonds (pi bonds) come from unhybridized p-orbitals. Also make sure to show the orbitals that lone pairs are located in these must be hybridized). Make sure to get the hybridization correct!
