Suppose a linear molecule were constructed from three atoms, all of which are found in the second row of the periodictable. How many valence shell AOs would these three atoms contribute toward the production of MOs? How manyMOs would be produced by the mixing of these valence shell AOs? Hint: The answer is independent of which orbitalsoverlap.
