If the number of electrons, N, is even, you can have a closed shell (as shown) where the occupied orbitals each contain two electrons. For an odd number of electrons, at least one orbital must be singly occupied. In the example, three orbitals are occupied by electrons and two orbitals are unoccupied. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is /3, and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is 11/4. The example above is a singlet, a state of total spin S=0. Exciting one electron from the HOMO to the LUMO orbital would give one of the following excited states ... 

Draw a Lewis structure for singlet methylene, CH2 (all the electrons in singlet methylene are spin-paired). Ho many electrons remain after all bonds have been formei Where are the extra electrons located, in the plane the molecule or perpendicular to the plane Examine t highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of methyle to tell. 

There are m doubly occupied molecular orbitals, and the number of electrons is 2m because we have allocated an a and a spin electron to each. In the original Hartree model, the many-electron wavefunction was written as a straightforward product of one-electron orbitals i/p, i/ and so on... 

In the ground state of a covalent bond, the molecular orbital is occupied by at least one, usually two electrons with anti-parallel spins. This is said to be the HOMO level that is, the highest occupied molecular orbital. If the bond is slightly sheared, the kinetic energies of its electrons is not affected, but the... 

The model clusters were chosen in accordance with the structure of PANI proposed in Refs. [1, 3], The present model of PANI also takes into account that under the influence of dopants (in this particular case, protons and anions (chlorine ions) which form bonds to PANI nitrogen), the spins of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) become unpaired, and PANI changes to triplet state. It should be noted that only in this state there is a considerable increase in PANI conductivity. 

Every occupied molecular orbital (MO) is taken with and spin and if there is symmetry degeneracy the whole degenerate set is included. 

Chemical bonding can be described in terms of a molecular orbital model. The molecular orbital approach is based on the idea that, as electrons in atoms occupy atomic orbitals, electrons in molecules occupy molecular orbitals. Molecular orbitals have many of the same properties as atomic orbitals. They are populated by electrons, beginning with the orbital with the lowest energy and a molecular orbital is full when it contains two electrons of opposite spin. 

For OH and SH, the NOF EAs are larger than the experimental values. This trend is due to the expected underestimation of the correlation energy for open-shell states with our approach. In fact, we fix the unpaired electron in the corresponding HF higher-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the neutral molecule, and then this level does not participate in the correlation. Note that for these molecules the total spin of the neutral molecule is greater than the total spin of the anion (S > Sa)- The underestimation of the total energy is for neutral molecules larger than for anions and therefore the NOF vertical EAs are overestimated. 

Let us study a system constituted of K fragments Qi. ..flAr We assume that the first (K-1) fragments are closed-shell systems described by doubly occupied orbitals. The last fragment Ok has an open-shell configuration, consisting of singly occupied molecular orbitals of parallel spin. Obviously, the theory here developed can easily be restricted to the case of K closed-shell fragments. 

The unusual properties of nitric oxide result from an unpaired electron in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). Nitrogen contains five valence electrons (electrons in the outermost shell with the greatest influence on bonding), while oxygen contains six valence electrons (Fig. 1). Therefore, nitric oxide contains a total of eleven valence electrons. Because orbitals can hold only two electrons with each electron possessing an opposite spin, there must be a single... 

For Eq. (9.35) to be useful the density matrix employed must be accurate. In particular, localization of excess spin must be well predicted. ROHF methods leave something to be desired in this regard. Since all doubly occupied orbitals at the ROHF level are spatially identical, they make no contribution to P only singly occupied orbitals contribute. As discussed in Section 6.3.3, this can lead to the incorrect prediction of a zero h.f.s. for all atoms in the nodal plane(s) of the singly occupied orbital(s), since their interaction with the unpaired spin(s) arises from spin polarization. In metal complexes as well, the importance of spin polarization compared to tire simple analysis of orbital amplitude for singly occupied molecular orbitals (SOMOs) has been emphasized (Braden and Tyler 1998). 

All variants of the Hartree-Fock method lead to a wave function in which all the information about the electron structure is contained in the occupied molecular orbitals (or spin orbitals) and their occupation numbers, the latter being equal to 1 or 2.
