Sketch the shape of each of the σ molecular orbitals for H2shown in Figure 6.5 in a plane perpendicular to the internuclear axis located at the midpoint between the two nuclei. Repeat the sketches for a plane perpendicular to the internuclear axis located at a point one quarter of the distance between the two nuclei.

quantum mechanics. The two nuclei
lie along the z-axis, which is in the
plane of the paper. Regions of
positive and negative amplitude are
shown in red and blue, respectively.
