users.df.uba.arAn orbital energy level diagram is produced and the occupied 1-21 in this case and unoccupied orbitals are presented. The HOMO is molecular orbital 21 and the LUMO is molecular orbital 22. To get an electron density surface for any orbital simply click on the orbital or combination of orbitals and highlight them. This is shown for the HOMO and LUMO

www.chem.uci.eduUsing Symmetry: Molecular Orbitals One approach to understanding the electronic structure of molecules is called Molecular Orbital Theory. • MO theory assumes that the valence electrons of the atoms within a molecule become the valence electrons of the entire molecule. • Molecular orbitals are constructed by taking linear combinations

www2.chemistry.msu.edus orbitals are spherical, p orbitals are dumbbell -shaped Covalent bonds - electron pair is shared between atoms Valence bond theory - electron sharing occurs by overlap of two atomic orbitals Molecular orbital (MO) theory - bonds result from combination of atomic orbitals to give molecular orbitals, which belong to the entire molecule
Simple Molecular Orbitals - Sigma and Pi Bonds in Molecules
www.cpp.edumolecular orbital is also created, which we simplistically show as a subtraction of the two atomic 1s orbitals [σ* = (1sa - 1sb)]. This orbital is called sigma-star (σ*) and is less stable than the two separated atoms. Because it is less stable than the two individual atoms, it is called an anti-bonding molecular

HÜCKEL MOLECULAR ORBITAL THEORY
ocw.mit.eduHückel theory the bond order can be defined as: occ O µ µ ij ≡ ∑ci cj µ=1 This definition incorporates the idea that, if molecular orbital µ has a bond between the ith and jth carbons, then the coefficients of the MO on those carbons should both have the same sign (e.g. we have pzi + pzj). If the orbital
Aromatic Compounds - Rutgers University
www.crab.rutgers.eduBenzene's extra stability cannot be explained by resonance alone, and so we must turn to Molecular Orbital theory for a fuller answer. Benzene has 6 planar sp2 carbons, and therefore each carbon has an unhybridized p orbital. These p orbitals are perfectly aligned for overlap (i.e. bonding, just like for a bond).

Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO) •We will express the MOs as a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) •The strength of the LCAO approach is its general applicability: it can work on ... and some p and d AOs, etc.). This will achieve a more flexible representation of our MOs and ...
Basis Sets Used in Molecular Orbital Calculations
www.schulz.chemie.uni-rostock.deThe basis functions used in molecular orbital calculations are usually described through an abbreviation or acronym such as "6-31G(d)". The complete description of the theoretical model used in MO calculations is given in the format "theoretical method/basis set". A calculation using Hartree-Fock theory in combination with the
