The HOMO of the
Concept introduction:
When atomic orbitals overlap during the formation of a molecule, an equal number of molecular orbitals (MOs) is formed. Half of these are bonding MOs, with energy less than the original AOs. The remaining half are antibonding MOs of energy higher (by almost the same amount) than the original AOs. The electrons from the overlapping atomic orbitals of the atoms fill up the MOs according to the Aufbau principle. In most cases, not all MOs are filled up. The highest energy MO with at least one electron occupying it is designated as the HOMO, Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital.

- organic chemistry please solve questionnnnnnn 1arrow_forwardWhen one electron is added to an oxygen molecule, a superoxide ion (O2-) is formed. The addition of two electrons gives a peroxide ion (O22-). Removal of an electron from O2 leads to O2+. (a) Construct the correlation diagram for O2-. (b) Give the valence electron configuration for each of the following species: O2+, O2, O2-, O22-. (c) Give the bond order of each species. (d) Predict which species are paramagnetic. (e) Predict the order of increasing bond dissociation energy among the species.arrow_forwardA) what are the correct formal charges on the atoms for structure A?

- A student draws the picture of ammonia (NH3) in the box below, left, and predicts it will be a flatmolecule with HNH bond angles of exactly 120°. Unfortunately, the student left something out. a. What did the student omit from his drawing? b. What is the actual HNH bond angle of ammonia (based on the draw g above, right)? c. Explain why water, ammonia, and methane (shown below) all have about the same bondangles (close to 109.5°) even though they have different numbers of bonds.arrow_forwardhey, can i get a clear answer for this? i know that it says find formal charge of just the atomsarrow_forward12arrow_forward
