Dr. Pounds,<br>
<br>
For the problems involving Gaussian, how are we supposed
to deliver our results to you? Save and email them, copy
the MO diagrams we make on paper, etc? We are really
confused.<br>
<br>
Thanks :)<br>

<font face="serif">For 2(a) I would like you to draw the
valence MO correlation diagram for each molecule on a sheet
of paper and on that same sheet of paper answer the
questions posed. Basically I am asking you to "translate"
what Gaussian does to a format that we all generally
recognize.<br>
<br>
For 2(b) I would like you to do the same, but for the last
part record you calculated bond lengths for each molecule.<br>
<br>
For 2(d) use the methods we discussed in class to prepare
the PES for dichloroethane. I would like this graph
submitted in Excel.<br>
<br>
For 2(e) for each molecule draw the Lewis dot diagram as
well as it's VSEPR shape. Then write down for each molecule
the LITERATURE value of the dipole moment as well as the
Gaussian calculated dipole moment. To answer the last part
of the question it might be beneficial to order the
molecules based on their dipole moments. That might help
you see any possible trends.
