1) Prepare a molecular orbital energy-level diagram for BrO [sp mixing is not significant in BrO] Orbital potential energies: Br: 4s -24.37 eV, 4p -12.49 eV; O: 2s -32.38 eV, 2p: -15.85 eV 2) Sketch the molecular orbital pictures (schematic representations) for the HOMO and LUMO in your MO diagram. 3) Hypobromite (BrO) is the bromine compound analogous to hypochlorites found in common bleaches, and in immune cells. In many ways, hypobromite functions in the same manner as hypochlorite, and is also used as a germicide and antiparasitic in both industrial applications, and in the immune system. For example, BrO can oxidize sulfhydryl groups in proteins. Which molecular orbital(s) of BrO would you predict to interact most strongly with the sulfhydryl groups in the protein to oxidize them? Explain.

Bro 1) The orbital potential energies for the 4s and 4p of Br are -18.65 ev and -12.49ev, respectively. Recall that the H 1s is -13.61ev. The MO diagram for HBr is not exactly the same as HF. Draw the MO diagram for HBr, including energy levels, each orbitals shape, each orbitals character (meaning what atomic orbitals contribute to each M.O. and how much), symmetry labels (e.g. o and t, o* and a*), indicate the HOMO and LUMO, the bond order (show your work), whether the molecule is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.
