Chapter 13, Problem 13.75E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of SALCs that can be constructed for ${\text{CH}}_{\text{4}}$ using all valence and core atomic orbitals is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Molecular orbital diagrams are used for determining the bonding in molecules using a linear combination of atomic orbitals. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine.
