Question

Sketch the shape of each of the σ molecular orbitals for H2shown in Figure 6.5 in a plane perpendicular to the internuclear axis located at the midpoint between the two nuclei. Repeat the sketches for a plane perpendicular to the internuclear axis located at a point one quarter of the distance between the two nuclei. 

 

FIGURE 6.5 Wave functions for the
first eight energy levels of the H;
molecular ion, calculated exactly by
quantum mechanics. The two nuclei
lie along the z-axis, which is in the
plane of the paper. Regions of
positive and negative amplitude are
shown in red and blue, respectively.

The labels for each orbital are
explained in the text. The images are
isosurfaces corresponding to contours
at + 0.1 of the maximum amplitude.
