Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The HOMO and LUMO of the uncharged
Concept introduction:
According to VSEPR theory, atoms that are bonded to two or more other atoms are considered to be hybridized. Such atoms contribute their valence orbitals for mixing. The new orbitals are formed by mixing just two AOs. The hybridization of an atom can be determined based on the electron geometry about an atom. The electron geometry about an atom describes the orientation of group of electrons around it. MOs are constructed from the AOs of different atoms. The two atomic orbitals, on mixing along bonding axes, form two molecular orbitals – one is
