23.1 The Simplest One-Electron Molecule: H2+
•
•
Schrödinger equation cannot be solved exactly
for any molecule containing more than one
electron.
We approach H2+ using an approximate model,
thus the total energy operator has the form

23.2 The Molecular Wave Function for Ground-State H2+
•
•
For chemical bonds the bond energy is a small
fraction of the total energy of the widely
separated electrons and nuclei.
An approximate molecular wave function for
H2+ is
caH1sa cbH1sb
where Ф = atomic orbital (AO)
ψ = molecular wave function
σ = molecular orbital (MO)

23.3 The Energy Corresponding to the Molecular
Wave Functions ψg and ψu
•
•
J represents the energy of interaction of the
electron viewed as a negative diffuse charge
cloud on atom a with the positively charged
nucleus b.
K plays a central role in the lowering of the
energy that leads to the formation of a bond.

23.6 Molecular Orbitals for Homonuclear Diatomic
Molecules
•
It is useful to have a qualitative picture of the
shape and spatial extent of molecular orbitals
for diatomic molecules.
• All MOs for homonuclear diatomics can be
divided into two groups with regard to each of
two symmetry operations:
1. Rotation about the molecular axis
2. Inversion through the center of the molecule

23.7 The Electronic Structure of Many-Electron
Molecules
•
The MO diagrams show the number and spin of
the electrons rather than the magnitude and
sign of the AO coefficients.

23.7 The Electronic Structure of Many-Electron
Molecules
•
2 remarks about the interpretation of MO
energy diagrams:
1. Total energy of a many-electron molecule is not
the sum of the MO orbital energies.
2. Bonding and antibonding give information
about the relative signs of the AO coefficients in
the MO.

For a given atomic radius, the bond length is
expected to vary inversely with the bond order.

Solution
In this series, the bond order is 2.5, 3, 2.5, and 2.
Therefore, the bond energy is predicted to follow the

N
,

order 2

2 using the bond order alone.
However, because of the extra electron in the
antibonding 1 g* MO, the bond energy in N -2 will be
less than that in N 2 . Because bond lengths decrease
as the bond strength increases, the bond length will
follow the opposite order.

The MOs on a heteronuclear diatomic molecule
are numbered differently for the order in energy
exhibited in the molecules Li2N2:
•
The MOs will still have either σ or π symmetry.

The symbol * is usually added to the MOs for
the heteronuclear molecule to indicate an antibonding MO.

23.10 The Molecular Electrostatic Potential
•
•
The charge on an atom in a molecule is not a
quantum mechanical and atomic charges
cannot be assigned uniquely.
Molecular electrostatic potential (Фr) can
be calculated from molecular wave function and
has well-defined values in the region around a
molecule.
where q = point charge
r = distance from the charge

•
It is convenient to display a contour of constant
electron density around the molecule and the
values of the molecular electrostatic potential
on the density contour using a color scale.
