Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The MO resulting from the given orbital interaction is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
When atomic orbitals (AOs) of the opposite phases interact, they result in an antibonding molecular orbital (MO) that is higher in energy than the individual AOs.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the resulting MO is unique compared to the one shown on the right of Figure 3-6b is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
When atomic orbitals (AOs) of opposite phases interact, the resulting molecular orbital (MO) has higher energy than the separate AOs. Whether the phases of the two are negative and positive as shown here or positive and negative, the result is an MO that is raised in energy to the same extent.

- The instructions are to draw the resonance hybrid structure of the molecule on the left. My answer is circled , which is wrong. Can someone explain why?arrow_forwardthe underlined atom has to be the center atomarrow_forwardThe problem is asking how many Sp3, Sp2, and Sp atoms there are and the answer key says 16 Sp3, 8 Sp2 and 2 Sp but I'm not even counting 26 carbons on this molecule so I'm a little confused.arrow_forward
