1. The diradical occurs in the two degenerate ? * antibonding orbitals. 2. After its transfer, the electron occupies an antibonding orbital of RCl. 3. See the wikipedia article on antibonding where it gives an example with hydrogen. 4. The red color of is caused by electron transitions into an antibonding orbital. 5. The radical electron goes in an antibonding orbital? 6. Antibonding orbitals are also important for explaining chemical reactions in terms of molecular orbital theory.7. The antibonding pi orbital ( also asymmetrical ) has four lobes pointing away from the nuclei. 8. Do his lectures give criteria for assessing whether an orbital is bonding, antibonding or non-bonding? 9. Anything with a negative energy is bonding, zero energy is non-bonding and positive energy is antibonding . 10. In general, sharp PES transitions indicate nonbonding electrons and broad bands are indicative of bonding and antibonding delocalized electrons.
