p sigma
and pi molecular orbitals
These QuickTime movies supplement Figure 14.36
on page 664 in the Zumdahl text. Note that Zumdahl
uses a non-standard, don't-try-this-at-home
convention for the pictures of the p-orbitals.
Everyone else in the world illustrates the 2 lobes
of the dumb-bell with different sign (phase) or
shading, like this.
