Some Observations on Molecular Orbital Theory
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n8 p1205 Aug 2005
A few flawed predictions in the context of homonuclear diatomic molecules are presented in order to introduce students to molecular orbital (MO) theory. A common misrepresentation of the relationship between the energy of an atomic orbital and the energy of the MO associated with the atomic orbital is illustrated.
