Place the following five diatomic molecules in the first column of the table. For each molecule,...
Molecular orbitals. Consider the following diatomic molecules: H2*, H2, Li2, N2, O2. For each molecule, (A) determine the number of electrons N; (B) give the index i of the HOMO (1 is lowest energy orbital, 2 is next one up, etc); (C) sketch the shape of the HOMO, indicating the signs of the lobes; (D) indicate the symmetry of the HOMO (o, T, 6) Molecular orbitals.
