Interpretation:
The molecular orbital picture of
Concept introduction:
Orbital picture of a molecule can be built up by first determining which orbitals will overlap and interact effectively. These are generally the orbitals from the valence shell of the atoms forming the bonds; mostly s and p orbitals. The orbital that will overlap end-on and the ones that overlap sideways are then determined on the basis of the electron geometry of the atoms. End on overlap leads to
(b)
Interpretation:
The MO energy diagram of
Concept introduction:
The molecular orbital energy diagram of a molecule is built up by considering the interactions of all the valence shall orbitals from each atom. The total number of MOs produced is the same as the number of interacting AOs.
An end-on overlap of two orbitals produces a pair of MOs of
Interactions between p orbitals produces MOs of two types, one pair with a
The valence electrons of the contributing atoms are then filled in these MOs in increasing order of energy. The MO of highest energy that contains any electrons is called the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), and the empty MO immediately above it is called the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO).

- Your chemistry professor draws a number of molecules on the board: (1) CH4 ; (2) H2C=CH2 ; (3) H2C=C=CH2 ; and (4) H2C=C=C=CH2. You muse about all the molecules that chemists draw on a two-dimensional board and wonder which ones are actually planar, existing basically as they appear on the board, and which ones are not plane but rather three-dimensional. Answer ALL of the following questions. What are the specific orbital overlaps (i.e., sp3-sp3) that are in each of the molecules? What are the bond angles for each central atom in each molecule? Which molecules are planar and which are non-planar?arrow_forwardYour chemistry professor draws a number of molecules on the board: (1) CH4 ; (2) H2C=CH2 ; (3) H2C=C=CH2 ; and (4) H2C=C=C=CH2. You muse about all the molecules that chemists draw on a two-dimensional board and wonder which ones are actually planar, existing basically as they appear on the board, and which ones are not plane but rather three-dimensional.
