Problem 1
Below is an MO diagram of a π bond using two p orbitals. A nodal plane is a plane of zero electron density formed when orbitals of opposite phases overlap. It is indicated on the diagram below by a dashed line.
Problem 3 Download the file C 2 H 4 .out under lecture material. This file is containing all the informations needed to visualize the MOs of the molecule C 2 H 4. In oder to do that, open this file with the program wxMacMolPlt under application: go to Subwindow >> Surfaces >> 3D Orbital set initially the Contour Value to 0.0 04 (you can modify this any moment) then select Orb. and press Update in the end. Visualize all occupied molecular orbitals of C 2 H 4 plus the 1st unoccupied orbital (LUMO). How many occupied orbitals you have? Fill in the following table numbering the orbital in ascending order.

Problem 5 Download the file C 2 H 6 .out under lecture material. This file is containing all the informations needed to visualize the MOs of the molecule C 2 H 6. In oder to do that, open this file with the program wxMacMolPlt under application: go to Subwindow >> Surfaces >> 3D Orbital set in initially the Contour Value to 0.0 04 (you can modify this any moment) then select Orb. and press Update in the end. Visualize all occupied molecular orbitals of C 6 H 6 plus the 1st unoccupied orbital (LUMO). How many occupied orbitals you have? Fill in the following table numbering the orbital in ascending order.
