Question
When acetylene (ethyne) is passed through a solution of copper (I) chloride,
a red precipitate of copper acetylide, Cu2C2, is formed. This is a common
test for the presence of acetylene.
Prepare molecular orbital energy-level diagrams for C22-. Label the orbital
type (e.g. o, n*, non-bonding...) and orbital symmetry (i.e. g or u). Sketch the
MO pictures for the highest occupied molecular orbital(s) (HOMO), and
lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(s) (LUMO).
