Calculate and display the orbitals for the linear molecule BeH2 . Describe how they illustrate the interaction of the outer group orbitals with the orbitals on the central atom. Compare your results with the answer to Problem 5.15.
Beryllium hydride, BeH2, is linear in the gas phase.
a. Construct a molecular orbital energy level diagram for BeH2 . Include sketches of the group orbitals, and indicate how they interact with the appropriate orbitals of Be.
b. If you have worked , compare the results of these two problems.
Reference of Problem 5.14
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?
