Hydrofluoric acid (HF) forms strong bonds with other HF molecules to form a zigzag chain-like structure in its liquid form, as shown in the schematic below:
a) Draw the molecular orbital diagram for HF. Be sure to clearly label orbitalsymmetries and indicate which orbitals are occupied by electrons. b) Identify and sketch the spatial representation of the HOMO and LUMO for the HF molecule. c) Based on your MO diagram, briefly explain why HF adopts a zigzag structure.
Draw an MO diagram to explain the existence of the trihydrogen cation (H3+).
Hint: it forms a cyclic structure. Use individual 1s orbitals from H atoms to form your molecular orbitals (don’t worry about forming LGOs; determine the symmetries of the MOs using the projection operator method and sketch approximate wavefunctions for each). How many electrons are present in this molecule? What is the bond order? What type of bonding is this?
