    Molecular Orbital Theory: Explaining a "Dot" Representing No Interaction

    Thanks for the reply! I understand how to get the 6 molecular orbitals of BeH2, but what I am still confused about is something else: I guess another way to show my misunderstanding is this: How come the orbital that is theoretically made up of the 2s of Be and the anti-bonding...

    Molecular Orbital Theory: Explaining a "Dot" Representing No Interaction

    Hmm I guess the dot isn't a crucial part to my question so let me try to rephrase:In the molecular orbitals of H3, the middle energy orbital is, let's say, one positive orbital on the left, nothing in the middle (this is where the "dot" would be in the other convention), and a negative orbital...

    How can I successfully precipitate gold from ore using aqua regia?

    Try liquid-liquid extraction. You need an extracting solvent that has a high partition coefficient with gold (low partition coefficient with all others), but also doesn't irreversibly react with gold. The extracting solvent also can't mix with aqua regia. Hope this helped.

    Molecular Orbital Theory: Explaining a "Dot" Representing No Interaction

    Question on Molecular Orbital Theory (and the "dot" that represents no interaction) I have a question about the "dot" that represents no interaction between orbitals. For example, in the molecular orbitals of H3, there is the lowest energy molecular orbital that has two bonding interactions...
