Molecular orbitals: N2The animation below shows the bonding interaction of nitrogen 2px orbitals on two nitrogen atoms as they approach. The two dots represent the N nuclei.
Note that the corresponding overlap of 2py orbitals gives a precisely similar (that is, degenerate) orbital (also occupied) differing only in orientation, related to this orbital by a 90° rotation about the z-axis. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
