1. Derive the following expression for the bonding and antibonding orbitals of a heteronuclear diatomic molecule consisting of two electrons in a molecular orbital of the form y = cAA + CBB with atomic orbitals A and B. Let aA=HAA, AB=HBB, B=HAB=HBA, SAA=SBB=1, and, as a simplification, let SAB=SBA=S=0 (zero-overlap approximation). Note that the assumption of SAB=SBA=S=0 is used simply to get a more transparent expression. Show that the secular determinant is given by a, - E = 0 - E and energies are given by 1/2 2B E̟ = }(a, +a,)±±(a,- For B<0, E. is the lower energy solution.
