Interpretation:
It is to be shown how many nodal planes are perpendicular to the bonding axes in
Concept introduction:
The MO arises from interacting p AOs of two atoms. MO energies differ as a result of constructive and destructive interference among contributing AOs. Each pair of overlapping AOs with the same phase lowers the MO energy and corresponds to a bonding interaction in an MO while each pair of overlapping AOs with the opposite phases raises the MO energy and corresponds to an antibonding interaction in an MO. The destructive interference gives rise to a nodal plane. The contributions of the AOs to produce a bonding, nonbonding or antibonding MO depend on the net interaction. In the MO diagram, only
