Chemistry · Molecular Orbital Theory
For a heteronuclear diatomic molecule AB, the un-normalized wavefunctions for HOMO and one of the two degenerate LUMOs, respectively, are: ψHOMO = 0.9(φ2sA + 3φ2pxA) + 0.1φ2pxB ψLUMO = 0.1φ2pxA + 0.9φ2pxB (Atomic orbitals of A and B are denoted by φ. The internuclear axis is along the z-direction.) AB is a:
- 1σ-donor through A, π-acceptor through A✓
- 2σ-donor through B, π-acceptor through B
- 3σ-donor through A, π-acceptor through B
- 4σ-donor through B, π-acceptor through A
Correct answer
σ-donor through A, π-acceptor through A
