Methylene, CH2, plays an important role in many reactions. One possible structure of methylene is linear.
a. Construct a molecular orbital energy-level diagram for this species. Include sketches of the group orbitals, and indicate how they interact with the appropriate orbitals of carbon.
b. Would you expect linear methylene to be diamagnetic or paramagnetic?
