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.
