Functional Group HOMO/LUMO Analyses
From WikidChem
A problem __for Friday 11/3__ is to provide a wiki analyzing the potential reactivity (or lack of reactivity) of one of the following functional groups by identifying plausible HOMO and LUMO. You should say something about (1) the shape of each of these orbitals, (2) whether and why they are unusual in their high- or lowness, and (3) where they might be attacked.
The structure of the functional groups is available on the course webpage at https://webspace.yale.edu/chem125_f06/125/Functional%20Groups/Functional%20Groups.htm
It is likely that you will have to revise your wiki as the course goes along, and we learn more about the lore regarding these functional groups - especially the more complicated ones.
Anyone who has not claimed a topic __on THIS page__ by noon Tuesday will be assigned a functional group. __You are responsible for finding your name on the list.__ Limit: two people per topic.
