Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 3ALQ
Compare Figs. 4-47 and 4-49. Why are they different? Because B2 is known to be paramagnetic, the π2p and σ2p molecular orbitals must be switched from the first prediction. What is the rationale for this? Why might one expect the σ2p to be lower in energy than the π2p? Why can’t we use diatomic oxygen to help us decide whether the σ2p, or π2p, is lower in energy?
