Question

The occupied MOs of ethene are shown below along with the MO energies.

a) Indicate which AOs are most important in the MO corresponding to -305.56 eV and indicate the relative phases of the AOs. (Can be more than one)

b) Classify the MO corresponding to -305.56 eV as localized or delocalized, ? or ? bonding, nonbonding or antibonding.

c) Indicate which AOs are most important in the MO corresponding to -305.51 eV and indicate the relative phases of the AOs.

d) Classify the MO corresponding to -305.51 eV as localized or delocalized, ? or ? bonding, nonbonding or antibonding.

g. Both in-phase and out-of-phase combination of AOs.

a. The 2s AO on C and the 1s AOs on H. b. The 1s AOs on C. c. The 2p AOs on C. d. The sp2 hybrid AOs on C and the 1s AOs on H. e. The in-phase combination of AOs. f. The out-of-phase combination of AOs. g. Both in-phase and out-of-phase combination of AOs.

Explanation / Answer

(a). MO corresponding to -305.56 eV: These MO's are the in-phase and out-of-phase combinations of the 1s AOs on C. Hence, the correct options are:

g. Both in-phase and out-of-phase combination of AOs.

b. The 1s AOs on C.

(b). MO corresponding to -305.56 eV are localized and nonbonding.

(c). MO's corresponding to -305.51 eV are similar as MO of -305.56 eV. Both are in-phase and out-of-phase combinations of the 1s AOs on C. Hence, the correct options are:

g. Both in-phase and out-of-phase combination of AOs.

b. The 1s AOs on C.

(d). MO corresponding to -305.51 eV are localized and nonbonding.
