The change in the energy of these entities with respect to molecular geometry is depicted on Walsh diagrams.
The change in the energy of these entities with respect to molecular geometry is depicted on Walsh diagrams. The Woodward-Hoffmann Rules were derived from the concept of the conservation of symmetry of these entities, and were based on Fukui's theory of "frontier" ones. Lewis acid-base reactions can be thought of as having the highest occupied one in one molecule donate electrons to the lowest unoccupied one of another molecule. Antibonding ones are denoted with asterisks, and the most common examples of these are designated using either sigma or pi. For 10 points, name these delocalized electron clouds, formed from the linear combination of atomic orbitals.
