More Challenging Questions

These questions require more thought and integrate several concepts.

Suppose in building up molecular orbitals, the π2p were placed above the . Prepare a diagram similar to Figure 8.11 based on these changes. For which species in Table 8.4 would this change in relative energies of the MOs affect the prediction of number of bonds and number of unpaired electrons?
