Chapter 14, Problem 43P

Draw all of the π molecular orbitals for (3E)-1,3,5-hexatriene, order them from lowest to highest in energy, and indicate the number of electrons that would be found in each in the ground state for the molecule. After doing so, open the computer molecular model for (3E)-1,3,5-hexatriene and display the calculated molecular orbitals. How well does the appearance and sequence of the orbitals you drew (e.g., number of nodes, overall symmetry of each, etc.) compare with the orbitals in the calculated model? Are the same orbitals populated with electrons in your analysis as in the calculated model?

Suppose that a molecular orbital has the (unnormalized) form 0.727A + 0.144B. Find a linear combination of the orbitals A and B that is orthogonal to this combination and determine the normalization constants of both combinations using S = 0.117. Show full and complete procedure, indicating where and how you are using the value of S
The following molecular orbital diagram belongs to a molecule of the type XH2 (where X is an unidentified 2nd row element).   Do you think the molecule is bent or linear? Explain your reasoning. Make approximate sketches of the bonding and non-bonding molecular orbitals. If each bond in the molecule has a bond order of 1, identify X and explain your reasoning based on the MO diagram.
