Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.53P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The numbers of bonding MOs, antibonding MOs, and nonbonding MOs in a linear molecule of three atoms from the second row, with the first and the third atom each mixing two of their orbitals with two from the central atom, is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The orbital picture of a molecule can be built on the basis of the atomic orbitals (AOs) that each atom can contribute. An atom from the second row has four valence shell orbitals, one s orbital and three p orbitals. Overlap and mixing of two AOs results in the formation of two MOs, one of them a bonding MO, and the other an antibonding MO. Orbitals that do not show substantial mixing are treated as nonbonding MOs.

A. The overlap of atomic orbitals leads to the formation of bonds. Explain what kind and how many orbitals are used to build the hybrid orbitals of a carbon atom in ethylene to give rise to the three sigma bonds. Also, what happens to the orbital(s) not used in the hybridization process?
B. What is the relative energy of the hybrid orbitals used by carbon of ethylene in bonding with respect to the original atomic orbitals of carbon in a ground state?
Antibonding MOs always have at least one node. Can abonding MO have a node? If so, draw an example.
