We've dealt with the molecular diagram of diatomic molecules. However, conceptually the problem is much more difficult when dealing multi-atomic molecules. Below is shown the molecular orbital diagram for water o* 2s o* 2p energy n 2p (non-bonding) 1 1 2p 1s 18 2s H H o 2p o 2s H,0 How many bonds are predicted from this molecular orbital diagram? b. Where do the non-bonding orbitals come from? Why will they be non bonding? c. Where is oxygen's 1s orbital and why isn't it shown on this diagram? a. d. Would H2o be more or less stable than H2O?
