Question
and why?
Consider two 2p orbitals, one on each of two different atoms, oriented side-to-side, as in the figure. Imag bringing these nuclei together so that overlap occurs as shown in the figure. This overlap results in a system of molecular orbitals. (Scroll down to answer part "c)".) Below, construct an orbital interaction diagram for molecular orbital formation by dragging the images that represent various orbital types (e.g., atomic, bonding, antibonding) into the relevant boxes. Identify the number of nodes in each atomic and molecular orbital.Explanation / Answer
vertical images are say 1 , 2, 3
answer is 1, 2,3, 1 ( image numbers for dragging)
the 2 image is a transition . you know the transition stage has higher energy than the normal .
the 3 image is the stable as it has lost energy by forming a bond so it will be in a lower energy level . at the energy level are the initial orbitals which is image 1
