The molecular orbitals of (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii)ethylene To construct the SALCS of the C atoms, one can start from the AOs of the C atoms and form symmetric and antisymmetric linear combinations in the same way as we did for the H atoms in H2O. You then get SALC's (i)-(viii) in the picture below. Note that (i), (ii) represent linear combinations of 2s orbitals, (vii), (viii) on the other hand, linear combinations of 2pz orbitals. State which IRREP each of SALC's (i)-(viii) follows. Tip: To identify a SALC's IRREP it is enough here to go through the irregular operations of the symmetry group.
