Structure and Bonding Solutions: #1010.* (1990 F 10) Discuss the molecular orbital picture for the electrons on O2. Draw pictures of the different orbitals, state the occupation number in each, and describe the overall electronic structure of ground state O2. Indicate which orbitals are bonding, anti-bonding, nonbonding, or atomic like.

If this diagram doesn't make sense to you, refer to the MO diagrams for O2 in earlier problems of this section for reference. You should be able to read and generate both styles, though. |
