Drawing MO Diagrams
Indicate relative E of AO’s of molecule on far left and right of figure (usually only valence orbitals)
indicate bonding and antibonding MO’s from interaction of AO’s (center of diagram)
identify MO;s as s or p; antibonding with *
fill MO’s with appropriate number of electrons
check that total number of MO’s is equal to sum of AO’s used and the electron count
