Chapter 8, Problem 45E
A friend tells you that the 2s orbital for fluorine starts off at a much lower energy than the 2s orbital for lithium, so the resulting 2s molecular orbital in F2 is more stable than in Li2. Do you agree?

Huckel theory: All atomic orbital coefficients in the lowest energy MO (Ψ1) should have the same value – explain why?
A friend tells you that the 2s orbital for fluorine starts off at a much lower energy than the 2s orbital for lithium, so the resulting σ2s molecular orbital in F2 is more stable than in Li2. Do you agree?
Consider a ring system made up of 8 atoms (each one contributing a p atomic orbital to make 8 pi molecular orbitals). If the system is filled with 6
orbitals containing single,
electrons, there will 6
orbitals containing pairs of electrons and 1
unpaired electrons. Hint: Use a Frost Circle.
Use numbers rather than text for your answers.
