- LiH is a polar molecule.
- The spatial part of the dominant resonance structure of the LiH molecule is
1sH(r1) 1sH(r2)
- This option represents the spatial part of the wave function for the Lithium-hydrogen (Li-H) bond.
- In this structure, the 2s orbital of lithium (2sLi) interacts with the 1s orbital of hydrogen (1sH) on both atoms. This indicates the constructive combination of the two wavefunctions.
Conclusion:-
So, The spatial part of the dominant resonance structure of the LiH molecule is 1sH(r1) 1sH(r2)
