Question
Pairs of these entities with comparable symmetry move energy from the lower to the higher energy counterpart via mixing. These entities are designated ungerade (“OON-gur-ah-duh”) if they are antisymmetric with respect to inversion. The Hückel method calculates the energies of these constructs, which are arranged in a polygon in the (*) Frost circle mnemonic for determining aromaticity. Kenichi Fukui pioneered predicting reactivity based on the frontier examples of these entities, which are the HOMO and LUMO. These entities can be approximated as linear combinations of their atomic counterparts. For 10 points, name these functions which describe the location of an electron in a molecule. ■END■
ANSWER: molecular orbitals [accept MOs until “HOMO”; prompt on orbitals]
