The molecular orbital diagram of HF looks different than most other diatomic species because the electronegativity difference between H and F is so large. The 1s atomic orbital of H interacts with just one of the 2p atomic orbitals of F to form a bonding σ molecular orbital and an antibonding σ* molecular orbital. This leaves the 2s orbital and two of the 2p orbitals of F as nonbonding orbitals.

Construct the molecular orbital diagram for HF.

Identify the bond order.

Draw a molecular orbital diagram for the p electrons in thecyclopentadiene anion. Be sure your diagram:
Is drawn to scale (with respect to the energy axis)
Indicates the relative energy of an isolated p orbital
Has labels (names) for each MO
Depicts the bonding/antibonding/nonbonding character within eachMO
Includes the number of electrons that occupy each MO
