e) Note: d-orbitals are not important for the bonding description of CIF5. Give a brief reason why. ) Which molecular orbital do you predict to be the most bonding? Draw a picture of this orbital including the phase. g) In part c, you found the symmetry of some d orbitals on the central Cl atom. Computational and experimental work confirm that the d-orbitals are not important for the bonding description of CIF5 or other main group molecules with so-called "expanded octets." Think about the requirements for significant interaction we discussed in class and give a brief reason why d-orbital involvement is unlikely. (Hint: You should be able to offer a reasonable explanation without looking up any numbers or doing any calculations.)
