    3. Why are there three bands? Quadrapole splitting occurs if the sample is not in cubic symmetry. Is the structure pseudo tetrahedral or planar? VSEPR would put two unshared pairs of electrons on each iodine if each chlorine has an octet. The source generates gamma ray (high energy x-rays) with energies in the 100,000 eV range.Why are there three bands? Quadrapole splitting occurs if the sample is not in cubic symmetry.

    23. Case 1: HOMO of H2 overlapping the LUMO of C2H4: energetically favorable (carbon is more EN than hydrogen), chemically favorable (H2 bond breaks, C-C double bond breaks), symmetry forbidden (no net overlap). Case 2: HOMO of C2H4 overlapping the LUMO of H2: energetically unfavorable (carbon is more EN than hydrogen), chemically favorable (H2 bond breaks, C-C double bond breaks), symmetry forbidden (no net overlap). Hydrogenation of ethene does not occur without a catalyst to allow a symmetry allowed process.

    29. Case 1: HOMO of B2Cl4 overlapping the LUMO of H2 : energetically favorable (hydrogen is more EN than boron), chemically favorable (H2 bond breaks, B-B bond breaks), symmetry forbidden (no net overlap). Case 2: HOMO of H2 overlapping the LUMO of B2Cl4 : energetically slightly unfavorable (boron is less EN than hydrogen), chemically favorable (H2 bond breaks, no change in B-B bond), symmetry allowed). However, each B-H bond formed would only contain 1 electron (1/2 bond order); the H2B2Cl4 formed would be very weak; homolytic cleavage of b-B bond would free up one electron for each boron to form more stable HBCl2.Case 1: HOMO of B2Cl4 overlapping the LUMO of H2 : energetically favorable (hydrogen is more EN than boron), chemically favorable (H2 bond breaks, B-B bond breaks), symmetry forbidden (no net overlap).
