(a) BrO has been detected in the emission gases from volcanoes (N. Bobrowski et al. (20O3) Nature, vol. 423, p. 273). Construct an MO diagram for the formation of BrO from Br and O atoms. Comment on any properties and bonding features of BrO that you can deduce from the diagram.


(b)     [C12O2]+ is approximately planar and is described as a charge transfer complex of [Cy and O2. By considering the HOMOs and LUMOs of [Cl2]1 and O2, suggest what orbital interactions are involved in the charge transfer.
