Abstract: | The s and the p density of the sp hybrid orbital of the unpaired electron on the central nucleus of CO?2 and BF2 are calculated as a function of the bond angle by the INDO molecular orbital method. The theory yields a dependence of the ratio of the p density to the s density on bond angle markedly different from a dependence derived from the orthogonality of sp hybrid orbitals and commonly used to determine the bond angle from ESR data. |
