Question

8. The MO diagram for ozone is shown. Note that this particular MO isn't labeled quite as fully as the ones in the textbook. Alas. I have re-labeled the MO's with numbers. 些, outer oxygen atoms central oxygen atom Label each MO as (primarily) bonding, non-bonding, or antibonding based on how the MO's are constructed from the AO's a) 6 5 4

Can you please help me figure out which ones are bonding, nonbonding, or antibonding

Answer 1

In the above MO diagram for O3 molecule,

1, 2, 3 and 4 are bonding molecular orbitals.

5 is non-bonding molecular orbital

6, 7 and 8 are antibonding molecular orbitals
