The accompanying drawing shows the shape of a d orbital. (a) Based on the shape, how many of the d orbitals could it be? (b) Which of the following would you need to determine which of the d orbitals it is: (i) the direction of the z-axis, (ii) the identity of the element, (iii) the number of electrons in the orbital, or (iv) the directions of two of the major axes?

The diagram that follows shows the highest-energy occupied MOs of a neutral molecule CX, where element X is in the same row of the periodic table as C. (a) Based on the number of electrons, can you determine the identity of X? (b) Would the molecule be diamagnetic or paramagnetic? (c) Consider the π_2p MOs of the molecule. Would you expect them to have a greater atomic orbital contribution from C, have a greater atomic orbital contribution from X, or be an equal mixture of atomic orbitals from the two atoms?
