Question

Using your knowledge of M.O. theory, please construct a molecular orbital diagram for the C-CI bond in chloromethane. You should use an sp3 orbital from carbon and all 4 sp orbitals from chlorine to do this. * please indicate the identity of the highest occupied melecular erbitals (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO).
