7. Without using hybridization, construct a reasonable molecular orbital diagram showing the interaction between the oxygen and the fluorines for OFs (oxygen is the central atom). Your diagram must account for the following: OFs is diamagnetic. OF, is paramagnetic. relative to OFs, the bond order for OF3 decreases. . relative to OF,, the bond order for OF, does not change. relative to OF, , the bond order for OF, does not change. For full credit, you must: . label the molecular orbitals indicate which orbitals interact (by using dashed lines). . place the electrons into the molecular orbitals. clearly identify the LUMO and the HOMO for OF,’ 2p 2s 2p 2s 3 F
