41 acetone molecular orbital diagram
For example, notice that the HOMO of acetone can be clearly interpreted as the orbital holding one of the lone pairs. If resonance is important the molecule cannot be represented by a single Lewis structure and the NBO analysis has to be extended to include combinations of the relevant NBOs to form Natural Localized Molecular Orbitals (NLMOs). Molecular Orbitals: Ethyne (Acetylene) Acetylene MOs. Acetylene (ethyne) is perhaps the most interesting example. With a triple bond between carbons, there must be two orthogonal π-bonds. These are pretty easy to find as the MOs have the same energies. (Note: the molecule always comes up looking head-on down the molecular axis.) Bonding orbitals in Ethylene (Ethene) sp 2. Bonding orbitals in Formaldehyde. Bonding orbitals in Methane - sp 3 hybrids. Interaction of Bromine Br 2 and C=O on Propanone. Molecular orbitals in Carbon Monoxide. Molecular orbitals in Fluorine. Molecular orbitals in Hydrogen. Molecular orbitals in Hydrogen Fluorid...
