Let us construct the molecular orbital diagram of ethylene (in pieces). a. First, construct the MO diagram of linear carbene (CH2). Draw pictures of all 6 orbitals b. Now bend the carbene to a bond angle of about 120°. How does this change your MO diagram? Draw pictures of all 6 orbitals. c. Now bring two of these carbene molecules together to make ethylene. Draw pictures of all 12 orbitals.
5. Molecular Orbitals 2. The carbon-oxygen single bond of carbonyls can be constructed using a mix of both hybridization and MO theory. Construct a MO diagram of the o bond of a carbonyl by mixing an oxygen sp² orbital and a carbon sp² orbital. Make sure your diagram is complete with all necessary orbitals (drawings of them), orbital notations, the proper number of electrons, and an appropriate energy ranking. H3C
