about orbitals of nucleophiles and electrophiles
« on: July 08, 2012, 08:04:39 AM »
I learned about orbitals of nucleophiles and electrophiles

but I didn't understand.

why C+ is empty nonbonding?

why carbonyl group has pi antibonding?

why c-x has sigma antibonding?

I learned physical chem but drawing these MO diagram was so difficult.

plz help me....!

molecular orbital diagrams are difficult to undertand unless you have really already mastered your understanding of valance bond theory. I wish I could help but i think I would just confuse you further.

PM me if you want some reading suggestions
