Within the LCAO approximation, the wavefunction of the 01, orbital of H, can be written as: (18A+ 1sB) with an energy of E, HAA+HAR 14SAB V2+25 AB The wavefunction of the o1, can be written as: (1sA - 1sB) with an energy of E, HAA HAR 1-SAB O1s = V2-25AB The atomic wavefunction 1sA is given by: 1s A %3D Vra/2 erA/ao A similar equation can be written for 1sg Which of the following statements is true (select all that apply)? A. When the molecule dissociates the electron is more likely to be bound to atom A than atom B. B. In the ground state, the electron can never be found at the center of the H-H bond C. The energy of the two molecular orbitals are the same at infinite internuclear distances D. At the equilibrium distance, the overlap SAB is equal to 1 .......
