Fig. 6-2. A contour map of the electron density distribution (or the
molecular charge distribution) for H2 in a plane containing the nuclei. Also
shown is a profile of the density distribution along the internuclear axis. The
internuclear separation is 1.4 au. The values of the contours increase in
magnitude from the outermost one inwards towards the nuclei. The values
of the contours in this and all succeeding diagrams are given in au; 1 au =
e/ao3 = 6.749 e/Å3.

Hydrogen. The two electrons in the hydrogen molecule may
both be accommodated in the 1sg orbital if their spins are
paired and the molecular orbital configuration for H2 is 1sg2.
Since the 1sg orbital is the only occupied orbital in the ground
state of H2, the density distribution shown previously in Fig. 62 for H2 is also the density distribution for the 1sg orbital when
occupied by two electrons. The remarks made previously
regarding the binding of the nuclei in H2 by the molecular
charge distribution apply directly to the properties of the 1sg
charge density. Because it concentrates charge in the binding
region and exerts an attractive force on the nuclei the 1sg
orbital is classified as a bonding orbital.

Excited electronic configurations for molecules may be
described and predicted with the same ease within the
framework of molecular orbital theory as are the excited
configurations of atoms in the corresponding atomic orbital
theory. For example, an electron in H2 may be excited to any
of the vacant orbitals of higher energy indicated in the energy
level diagram. The excited molecule may return to its ground
configuration with the emission of a photon. The energy of the
photon will be given approximately by the difference in the
energies of the excited orbital and the 1sg ground state orbital.
Thus molecules as well as atoms will exhibit a line spectrum.
The electronic line spectrum obtained from a molecule is,
however, complicated by the appearance of many
accompanying side bands. These have their origin in changes
in the vibrational energy of the molecule which accompany the
change in electronic energy.

The nucleus is the very dense region consisting of
nucleons (protons and neutrons) at the center of an
atom. Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up
from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, with a
very small contribution from the orbiting electrons.
The diameter of the nucleus is in the range of 1.6 fm
(1.6 × 10−15 m) (for a proton in light hydrogen) to
about 15 fm (for the heaviest atoms, such as
uranium). These dimensions are much smaller than
the diameter of the atom itself, by a factor of about
23,000 (uranium) to about 145,000 (hydrogen).
The branch of physics concerned with studying and
understanding the atomic nucleus, including its
composition and the forces which bind it together, is
called nuclear physics.
