(15 pts) Consider the molecule B2H6. Generate a molecular orbital diagram but thistime using a different approach that draws on your knowledge and ability to putconcepts together. First use VSEPR or some other method to make sure you knowthe ground state structure of the molecule. Next, generate an MO diagram for BH2.Sketch the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs of the BH2 fragment.These are called frontier orbitals. Now use these frontier orbitals as your basis setfor producing LGO's for B2H6. Since the BH2 frontier orbitals become the LGOS,you will have to think about what is in the middle of the molecule and treat its basisas well. Do you arrive at the same qualitative MO diagram as is discussed in thebook? Sketch the new highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs for themolecule (B2H6).

To solve this problem, we will follow a step-by-step approach using VSEPR theory, molecular orbital…

Compare the bonding in formic acid (HCOOH) with that in its conjugate base formate ion (HCOO). Each molecule has a central carbon atom bonded to the two oxygen atoms and to a hydrogen atom. Draw Lewis diagrams, determine the steric numbers and hybridization of the central carbon atom, and give the molecular geometries. How do the orbitals differ in formic acid and the formate molecular ion? The bond lengths of the CO bonds in HCOOH are 1.23 (for the bond to the lone oxygen) and 1.36 (for the bond to the oxygen with a hydrogen atom attached). In what range of lengths do you predict the CO bond length in the formate ion to lie?

Draw the MO diagram of linear NO2 by consulting the character tables and orbital energies, and to align your O/N/O axes. Remember to use a lower symmetry point group for the linear molecule. What is the bond order of linear NO2? How does it change if you make it NO2 - or NO2 +. Draw each SALC and look for interactions between the orbitals.
For each molecule or molecular ion below, calculate the bond order: N2, N2-, O2 and O2+. In this calculation, show which specifically bonding and anti-bonding molecular orbitals were used in the calculation. Please label molecular orbitals with appropriate “g” (“gerade”) and “u” (“ungerade”) subscripts.
