2 Factors responsible for interactions between AO’s to form MO’s
1) Orbital overlap
2) Close relative energies
Bond order formula
BO=(1/2)(# bonding e’s - # antibonding e’s)
diamagnetic
no unpaired e’s
Sum of diagonal elements
Character/trace
0 spin parallel unpaired electrons
Singlet
1 spin parallel unpaired electrons
