Determine if each of the following statements is True or False.

Orbitals in molecules have different shapes than orbitals in single atoms.

a. True

b. False

A pi bond involves end to end overlap of p-orbitals and puts the electrons directly between the two bonded atoms.

a. True

b. False

Hybridization spreads electrons over an entire molecule (delocalizes electrons).

a. True

b. False

Hybridization is a completely accurate model of atomic bonding.

a. True

b. False

Molecular orbital theory uses all the electrons in the molecule to form molecular orbitals spread over the entire molecule.

a. True

b. False

We generally use Valence Bond Theory for most organic structures because it is simpler than MO theory, and most bonds are accurate enough.

a. True

b. False

We can represent delocalized electrons via resonance structures.

a. True

b. False

Sigma bonds are typically the 2nd or 3rd bond between two atoms.

a. True

b. False
