Find the number of non-bonding molecular orbital from the following if z is the internuclear axis : dz2+s,dx2−y2+s,pz+dxz,s+dyz
Open in App
Solution
If z is the internuclear axis, then there are three non-bonding molecular orbitals dx2−y2+s,pz+dxz,s+dyz. On the other hand, the overlap dz2+s gives bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals.
