3. a) Construct a molecular orbital diagram for the CC species from a linear combination of symmetry adapted orbitals. (20 pts)
b) Identify the HOMO and LUMO in part (a). (4 points) c) CCI is a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor). Which orbital on carbon do you expect will accept an electron pair from a Lewis base? (i.c., s.p. PP., or other) Why is this orbital a good location for accepting electrons? Discuss how the Lewis structure and the geometry of the molecule are consistent with your answer from the MO diagram (5 points)
