Question

Construct the molecular orbitals of NH2- ion and give the initial wavefunction of LUMO using proper atomic orbitals as basis.

Expert Solution
Step 1

given:

  • The number of molecular orbitals is equal to number of atomic orbitals.
  • the overlap of two atomic orbitals give rise to two molecular orbitals.
  • the lowest energy molecular orbital had all the phases in the contributing P orbitals aligned in the same way.
