Chapter 3, Problem 3.30P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The bonding and antibonding MOs of the HCl bond resulting from the interaction shown are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

When two orbitals of the same phase overlap, it results in constructive interference, i.e., a bonding MO. If the overlap is between orbitals with different phases, it results in destructive interference, i.e., an antibonding MO.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The symmetries of the two MOs resulting from the overlap shown are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

When the overlap of two orbitals is along the bond axis, the MO has σ (sigma) symmetry. If the overlap is away from the bond axis, the MO has a π symmetry.

The bond in H–CI can be explained by the overlap between an s orbital from hydrogen and a p orbital from chlorine, as shown in this diagram. (a) Draw the bonding and antibonding MOs that would result from such an interaction. (b) What is the symmetry of each of these MOs?
The bond in Cl2 can be explained by the end-on overlap between two p AOs, as shown inthis diagram. (a) Draw the bonding and antibonding MOs that would result from such an interaction. (b) What is the symmetry of each of these MOs?
(a) Draw the orbital picture for :C=0: showing the explicit overlap of the contributing AOs. (b) How many MOs of T symmetry are there in total? (c) Draw the orbital energy diagram for CO and identify the HOMO and LUMO.
