Question

Answer B please

Consider the heteronuclear diatomic anion
selenium bromide (SeBr-)
(A) What is the basis set for the molecular orbitals
of SeBr-?
(B) How many molecular orbitals will we make?
(C) Draw and label the molecular orbital energy
diagram for SeBr- and populate it with electrons.
(D) What is the electronic configuration of SeBr-?
(E) What is the bond order of SeBr-?
(E) SeBr- does not have any non-bonding orbitals
that arise from symmetry issues. Why not?
(E) To the best of your drawing abilities, draw the
most bonding s molecular orbital in SeBr-
(G) To the best of your drawing abilities, draw the
most anti-bonding s molecular orbital in SeBr-
(H) To the best of your drawing abilities, draw the
most bondingp molecular orbital in SeBr-
(1) To the best of your drawing abilities, draw the
most anti-bonding p molecular orbital in SeBr-
(G) Is SeBr- diamagnetic or paramagnetic?
