Chemical Reactivity: SOMO, HOMO, and LUMO

J. Michael McBrideYale University

Professor

47:12·2009·undergraduate level

This lecture contrasts localized bond models with total electron density and computational molecular orbitals. It then establishes the foundation for understanding chemical reactivity through the overlap of singly-occupied (SOMO), highest occupied (HOMO), and lowest unoccupied (LUMO) molecular orbitals, generalizing acid-base concepts.
