In this post let us apply the LCAO method and approximations we studied earlier to a simple conjugated molecule and carry out the calculations for
The HMO theory makes certain approximations.These approximations have proved to be very useful as they help simplify calculations and give accurate results. So, they are
In the last post we got an overview of what matrices are and how they are used. Let us proceed further and see how this
Before proceeding further, it is imperative that we understand some basic mathematical concepts required to study this theory. We are not going to elaborately study
Hückel’s molecular orbital(HMO) theory. The π- electron system in conjugated planar molecules can be treated independently of the σ framework. Aromaticity is usually described in
Configuration means order. The electronic configuration of an element describes how electrons are distributed in various atomic orbitals in the atom. Thus, electronic configuration gives
