Label the molecular orbitals formed by the following combinations of atomic orbitals (Assume z - axis as internuclear axis):
(i) `2s+2s`
(ii) `2p_(x)-2p_(x)`
(iii) `2p_(z)+2p_(z)`
(iv) `1s-1s`
(v) `2p_(y)+2p_(y)`.

AI Generated Solution

To label the molecular orbitals formed by the combinations of atomic orbitals given in the question, we will analyze each case step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Combination: 2s + 2s** - When two 2s orbitals combine, they overlap end-to-end. - This results in a **bonding molecular orbital**. - The label for this molecular orbital is **σ2s**. ...
