Molecular Orbitals 1(Older Version): Representations and Mulliken Symbols

[@monado5698]

another question. On 11:30 aren't the orbitals inverted? As in green should be the left one, therefore giving 0 in total. The image we see would imply it's -2 right?

The figure for sigma v looks correct to my eye. The green doesn't move (+1) and the red inverts (-1), so 0 overall.

@@animatedaboutchemistry My bad, I put the time wrong. I was talking about sigma d

[@animatedaboutchemistry]

That one is unfortunate. We're going to put up a revised video, as that could be confusing. Thanks for pointing it out!

Really nice video! One question tho, on the C4v character table, shouldn't A2 C2 be +1?

[@animatedaboutchemistry]

Great catch! We'll have to add a correction for that typo.
