Walsh diagrams plot the changes of these entities to explain the differences in stability in molecules with respect to spatial configuration.
Walsh diagrams plot the changes of these entities to explain the differences in stability in molecules with respect to spatial configuration. These entities are said to have gerade symmetry, represented by the Mulliken symbol g, if the signs of these entities change upon inversion. With the use of character tables, these entities can be composed by combining multiple SALCs (S-A-L-C's). A single Slater determinant can be used to approximate these entities, which can be calculated using the (*) Hartree-Fock method. Due to destructive interactions, a node exists where the wavefunction is zero in these entities, which can be denoted as pi or sigma star. They are often computed as a linear combination of atomic shells. For 10 points, name these entities that represent the regions around a bond that an electron is likely to occupy.
