Molecular orbital diagram cn. Complete this molecular orbital diagram for cn then determine the bond order. Right you have been asked to draw the mo diagram for cn a heteronuclear diatomic. If you have suggestions or contributions please e mail me.

But there are many more molecules. In neutral cn there are nine valence electrons five from n four from c. Is it the same as 13 electron system of n2.

Can you please describe the mo diagram of cn. To add arrows to the mo diagram click on the blue boxes. This is meant to be an interactive exercise so arrange for some pieces of blank paper a pencil a pen and an eraser.

Photoelectron spectroscopy provides useful information on the energies of atomic orbitals. A molecular orbital diagram or mo diagram is a qualitative descriptive tool explaining chemical bonding in molecules in terms of molecular orbital theory in general and the linear combination of atomic orbitals lcao method in particular. Molecular orbital theory heteronuclear diatomic cyanide cn example duration.

Note that the 1s orbital is not shown in this problem. Where the indicates an anitbonding molecular orbital that is higher in energy than the atomic orbitals that combine to form it. As geoff already pointed out in the comments the connection between a molecular orbital theory mo point of view and a lewis picture lt is tenuous at best.

Now fill the mo diagram and find bond orders. Maybe the best example for this is the mentioned ce cn and obviously the isoelectronic ceco. The total energy of the molecule must be stabilised.

Next well see that symmetry will help us treat larger molecules in the lcao mo theory framework. Atomic orbitals must have the proper symmetry and energy to interact and form molecular orbitals. Take it one step at a time and you will have a complete mo diagram before you know it.

First of all while the stage 1 pre mixing diagram of diatomics is very easy to produce the mixing in diatomics is very difficult to evaluate because more than two orbitals are involved.
