Propose molecular orbital diagrams for CH4 molecules: as a tetrahedron -as a seesaw -and as a square plane Do show all the steps needed to generate a diagram, such as point group assignments, reducible representations, etc. Interpret your diagrams as follows: 1) Does MO theory make predictions as to which structure is optimal? Does this prediction agree or disagree with VSEPR? 2) How stable are alternate electron counts for the central atom within each shape? Is a central atom with 4 valence electrons mandatory, or are there other possibilities?

Propose molecular orbital diagrams for

CH_{4}

molecules: as a tetrahedron as a scesaw and as a square plane Do show all the steps needed to generate a diagram, such as point group assignments, reducible representations, etc. Interpret your diagrams as follows: 1) Does MO theory make predictions as to which structure is optimal? Does this prediction agree or disagree with VSEPR? 2) How stable are ahemate electron counts for the central atom within each shope? is a central atom with 4 valence electrons mandatory, or are there other possiblities?
