The allegory not only draws on the theory of forms, but it is connected both to the concept of forms and Plato's theory of the stages of life. 1  At the lowest stage, the cognitive stage of imagination (in Greek, eikasia), the prisoners exist bound and hindered in their perspective.
Since any orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, the bonding orbital in H 2 + is only half-full. This single electron is nevertheless enough to lower the potential energy of one mole of hydrogen nuclei pairs by 270 kJ quite enough to make them stick together and behave like a distinct molecular species.
The two available electrons (one from each H atom) in this diagram fill the bonding Ï 1 s molecular orbital. Because the energy of the Ï 1 s molecular orbital is lower than that of the two H 1 s atomic orbitals, the H 2 molecule is more stable (at a lower energy) than the two isolated H atoms.wo electrons each fill the Ï 2 s and Ï2s* orbitals, 2 fill the Ï2pz orbital, 4 fill the two degenerate Ï orbitals, and 4 fill the two degenerate Ï orbitals, for a total of 14 electrons. To determine what type of bonding the molecular orbital approach predicts F 2 to have, we must calculate the bond order.
