(20 points) For a particle in a box, if r = s = 2mE (2/h), then write the total solution of (given the general solution of the wave function for a particle in a box is = A sin rx + B cos sx)

2.

(15 points) For the 3p and 4dxy orbitals, sketch: a) the radial function R b) The radial probability function a0r2R2 c) Contour maps of electron density

3.

a) (6 points) Calculate the effective nuclear charge (Z*) for a 5p, and a 4d electron in a tellurium (Te) atom.

b) (4 points) For F atom in the ground state, find the total exchange energy e and Columbic energy c. What is the multiplicity of the atom?

(15 points) Using VSEPR, fill in the following table (the first atom is the central atom) under the central atom write the formal charge of it. Molecule Lewis Structure Formal Charge VSEPR Shape & Name Bond Angels

XeO2S

KrF5+

SO2

IF4+

COCl2

4.

(20 points) Draw the structure and assign the point groups for the following molecules (bold is the central atom). a) IF7 (pentagonal bipyramidal)

b) IBrF- (linear)

c) NHCIF (pyramidal)

d) HSO4 ((tetrahedral at S, H is bonded to O not S)

e) AlCl3 (planar)

5.

(20 points) InCl5 is square pyramidal and belongs to the point group (C4v) (Remember the ddihedral mirror-cuts between atoms). Show your work for partial credit. a. What is the reducible representation of the In-Cl stretches? (Hint: represent the In-Cl stretches as double headed arrows and remember any arrow that moves off of its atoms does not contribute to the reducible representation).

b. What irreducible representations make up the In-Cl stretches?

c. Considering only the In-Cl stretches, how many IR bands do you expect and what are their symmetries?
