Title: Krypton difluoride MO diagram
Post by: snowcollar on March 31, 2020, 10:31:57 AM

I am wondering what the molecular orbital diagram for KrF₂ would be. Also what would be the HOMO and LUMO?
I found an MO diagram for the compound and I have attached it. I understand the in-phase an out of phase combinations shown between the p orbitals on F and Kr but I am confused as to what is going on with the other orbitals that are not shown in the picture.
