Summary of Some Key Points
MOs are approximated as LCAOs
The symmetry of the MOs is that of the irreduciblerepresentations
Molecules can be analyzed in terms of constituent fragments,e.g. water as O + “stretched H2”
Bonding is greater when both the orbital energy match andthe spatial overlap is better
The more electronegative atom gets the greater share of thebonding combination and vice versa
Interaction is identically zero between orbitals belonging todifferent irreducible representations

What are Hypervalent Molecules?
Molecules that appear to violate the octet rule by having morethan eight electrons in the valence shell
Examples: PCl5, SF6, ClF3, I−3To maintain the primacy of 2c-2e bond (Lewis), use of dorbitals were invoked
Alternatively (Pimentel), the 3c-4e bond (MO theory)explains matters

Connecting MO Theory to Lewis Diagrams
Accurate MO calculations provide the total electron densityand predict observable properties (vibrations, NMR, electronictransitions, magnetism)
MOs have the symmetry of the irreducible representationsmaximizing delocalization
LCAO MOs give us the means to calculate the molecularwavefunction and energy levels
The electron density from an MO calculation can beinterpreted in terms of a Lewis picture using NBO analysis
We can recover our powerful Lewis diagrams from accurateMO calculations at an impressive level of detail
