The Walsh Diagram and Group Orbitals

The Walsh diagram for CHi. The linear form is shown on the left, and it is converted to the bent form. Also shown is a secondary mixing between the C and E orbitals to make C and E. The computed MOs and the standard group orbital designations are also given. 

However, the environment that a molecule finds itself in also influences the orbital description. Our analysis to this stage has been for a single isolated MH2 system. Orbitals C and D could not mix since they have differing symmetry. However, as soon as another mole-
