Why is that?arrow_forwardAntibonding molecular orbitals can be used to make bondsto other atoms in a molecule. For example, metal atomscan use appropriate d orbitals to overlap with the p*2p orbitalsof the carbon monoxide molecule. This is calledd@p backbonding.

(b) Now, on the x-axis to the right of M, drawthe Lewis structure of a CO molecule, with the carbonnearest the M. The CO bond axis should be on the x-axis.(c) Draw the CO p*2p orbital, with phases (see the “CloserLook” box on phases) in the plane of the paper. Two lobesshould be pointing toward M. (d) Now draw the dxy orbitalof M, with phases. Can you see how they will overlap withthe p*2p orbital of CO? (e) What kind of bond is being madewith the orbitals between M and C, s or p ?
