- All the three p orbitals of methylazide (
) which form π-bonds of one carbon atom and two nitrogen atoms should lie in the same plane to have the effective overlap. - In methylazide one negative charge and a conjugated double bond will contribute a total of 4 π-electrons.
- From the MO theory, the three π atomic orbitals should result in 3 π molecular orbitals and they are arranged according to their energy content as shown below:
- The ground state (G.S) configuration of methylazide is
, where is the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of methylazide. It has one nodal plane and the Nodal plane passes through the N atom in the HOMO of methylazide.
Conclusion:
- The HOMO of π - molecular orbitals of methylazide is
