    This document provides a tutorial on molecular orbital theory. It discusses defining molecular orbital theory and bonding/antibonding molecular orbitals. It asks the student to sketch molecular orbital shapes, draw molecular orbital diagrams, calculate bond orders, and explain how molecular orbital theory can be used to understand differences in stability and bond strength for various diatomic molecules and ions. Questions focus on species such as N2, F2, O2, and their cations and anions. The tutorial aims to develop the student's understanding of how atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals and how this relates to bonding properties.

    your choice with a molecular orbital energy level diagram.

    1. Sketch the constructive and destructive interactions of two 2p orbitals that


    produce:
    i) a sigma bonding and a sigma antibonding molecular orbital.
    ii) a bonding and an antibonding pi molecular orbital.
    2. For a nitrogen gas (N2) molecule:
    i) State the HOMO and LUMO of the N2.
    ii) Draw the orbital shape of the HOMO and LUMO of the N 2.
    iii) Would the N-N bond length be increased or decreased if an electron is
    removed from N2 to form N2+? Explain your answer.
    3. Molecular orbitals are formed when atomic orbital overlap. Sketch the molecular
    orbitals formed when atomic orbitals below interact.
    i) Two 2py orbitals destructively.
