Sketch how the overlap between a 1s orbital and a 2p orbital directed towards it can be expected to depend on their separation.The overlap integral between an H1s orbital and an H2p orbital directed towards it on nuclei separated by a distance R is S=(R/a0)1+(R/a0)+13(R/a0)2e-R/ao. Plot this function, and find the separation for which the overlap is a maximum.

I was told to count how many Sp3, Sp2 and Sp atoms there were in this molecule. I counted 9 Sp3, 10 Sp2 and 1 Sp, but the answer key had 7Sp3, 10Sp2 and 1 Sp. I was wondering what I did wrong and why? If you could explain in as much detail as you can and if you could illustrate where the the orbitals are.
D10) Evaluate the energy for the two MOs generated by combining two H1s MOs. Use the equation (equation 9D.9b) and carry out the calculation for the following S values to mimic the effect of decreasing the atomic separation in the molecule.

Q. (i)If a homonuclear diatomic molecule is oriented along z-axis, determine the molecular orbital formed by the linear combination of atomic orbitals of the two atoms. Also draw their resulting structure. Determine the orbital having two radial nodes and two angular nodes and also give reason to support your answer. (ii)The signs of the unsquared wave functions are usually shown in plots of the squared functions. Why do you think this practice exists? Give values of angular nodes and plane of 3p, 4d, 2p, 4f, 4s.
The Morse potential energy is very useful as a simple representation of the actual molecular potential energy. When 85Rb1H was studied, it was found that ˜ν = 936.8 cm−1 and x_eν˜ = 14.15 cm−1. Plot the potential energy curve from 50 pm to 800 pm aroundRe = 236.7 pm. Then go on to explore how the rotation of a molecule may weaken its bond by allowing for the kinetic energy of rotation of a molecule and plotting V∗ = V + hcBJ˜ (J + 1) with B˜. Plot these curves on the same diagram for J = 40, 80, and 100, and observe how the dissociation energy is affected by the rotations. Hints: Taking B˜ = 3.020 cm−1 as the equilibrium bond length will greatly simplify the calculation. The mass of 85Rb is 84.9118mu
If the spacings between adjacent vibrational features in a photoelectron spectroscopy experiment decrease, changing by a factor of 1/2, when you deuterate the molecule being ionized, is it more likely that the orbital from which you are ejecting an electron is from a nonbonding orbital, a p orbital localized on a C-C or C-O bond, or a s orbital localized on a C-H bond? Explain.
Many of the colours of vegetation are due to electronic transit ions in conjugated π-electron systems. In the freeelectron molecular orbital (FEMO) theory. the electrons in a conjugated molecule are treated as independent particles in a box of length L. (a) Sketch the form of the two occupied orbitals in butadiene predicted by this model and predict the minimum excitation energy of the molecule. (b) In many cases. an extra half bond-length is often added at each end of the box. The tetraene CH2=CHCH=CHCH=CHCH=CH2 can therefore be t reated as a box of length 8R. where R = 140 pm. Ca lcu late the minimum excitation energy of the molecule and sketch the HOMO and LUMO.
When β-carotene is oxidized in vivo, it breaks in half and forms two molecules of retinal (vitamin A), which is a precursor to the pigment in the retina responsible for vision. The conjugated system of retinal consists of 11 C atoms and 1 O atom. In the ground state of retinal, each level up to n = 6 is occupied by two electrons. Assuming an average internuclear distance of 140 pm, calculate (a) the separation in energy between the ground and first exciteted state in which one electron occupies the state with n = 7, and (b) the frequency of radiation required to produce a transition between these two states. From your results, correct the following sentence (from the options in brackets). The absorption spectrum of a linear polyene shifts to (higher/lower) frequency as the number of conjugated atoms (increases/decreases).
