HOMO and LUMO
Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure
eV
The highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals, which together govern a molecule's reactivity and spectroscopy.
ΔE = E_LUMO − E_HOMO
Hybridisation
Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure
Dimensionless
The mixing of atomic orbitals on the same atom to form an equal number of new, equivalent orbitals suited to bonding.
Hydrogen Bond
Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure
kJ/mol
A strong dipole interaction between a hydrogen atom bonded to N, O or F and a lone pair on another such atom.
