Like many of the molecules we have studied in this class, propene (structure shown below) can be thought of as a particle in a box. There are three t-electrons. Since I can put two electrons in each energy level, the highest-energy electron is in the n = 2 state (the HOMO). What does the wave for this electron look like? n = 3 lowest unoccupie molecular orbital (LUMO) n = 2 highest occupiedi molecular orbital (НОМО) . n = 1 Select one: Оа. O b. О с. O d. None of these shapes are right.
The molecule PtCl 2 - is an important square planar starting material in synthetic inorganic chemistry. Using the p orbitals of Cl as the basis find the irreducible representations of the p orbitals and indicate which orbitals could possibly overlap with any of the orbitals on Pt . Assume that the pz orbitals on Cl are orientated in the same direction as the principle rotation axis, px orbitals are pointed at the Pt , and the py orbitals are orthogonal to the px orbitals. Show the characters of each orbital and identify which orbitals on Pt would match from a pure symmetry standpoint.
