In class, I thought you had said that we did not need to know how to construct the group orbitals – should we not worry about the parts of the homework questions that ask us to draw group orbitals?
I will give you the LGOs whenever they are needed. I see that problem 5.18 (ozone) does not give you the LGOs ahead of time – if such a problem were on the exam, I would remedy that oversight.
You should recognize the shape and phase of the LGOs, and be able to make MOs with the central atom (or nonbonding MOs if appropriate).
Could you please post the slides from Wednesday’s Lecture.
Thank you!
