Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The MO resulting from the given orbital interaction is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
When atomic orbitals (AOs) of the opposite phases interact, they result in an antibonding molecular orbital (MO) that is higher in energy than the individual AOs.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the resulting MO is unique compared to the one shown on the right of Figure 3-6b is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
When atomic orbitals (AOs) of opposite phases interact, the resulting molecular orbital (MO) has higher energy than the separate AOs. Whether the phases of the two are negative and positive as shown here or positive and negative, the result is an MO that is raised in energy to the same extent.

- 1. A species that is magnetic will have ____________ electrons. 2. When two sets of two p orbitals on different atoms combine at a total of _____ molecular orbitals are formed. Please do it neat and clean correctly Don't copy by somewhere posting third please do it correctlyarrow_forwardplease do both with explanation , if u hv plan to do only 1 then please skip lets some other do allarrow_forwardi think E is the right molecule what about you ??arrow_forward
