You can download the slides that I showed last Wed/Thur (Sept 12/13) here.
I didn't get to show all of the slides, but if I could have, I would have divided the talk into three sections:
- what you already know (from Chem 101)
- the creation of MOs by combining AOs (or HOs) and the importance of overlap
- examples of MOs
There are some really beautiful photos of bonding MOs, and even a few antibonding MOs, in the third section. Please look them over carefully. Make sure you can say the following about each MO:
- is it bonding or antibonding
- is it sigma or pi
- what atoms are involved
- what atomic (or hybrid) orbitals are involved
