== difluorine molecule MO diagram ==

{{resolved}}

[[File:MO diagram dioxygen.png|center|240px]]

'''Article(s):''' [[Fluorine]]

'''Request:''' Please redraw to be a difluorine MO diagram, with significant simplifications.

1. Get rid of the bottom, 1s orbital stuff, (bottom one third of diagram).

2. Delete the sigma and pi symbols to the right (want this simple-simple for article I will use it in, other can add back if needed, for other uses)

3. Add a label above the left and right columns "F atom". Add a label above the central column "F₂ molecule"

4. Add an extra electron to the right and left columns (pointing down) in the top, middle spot. In the center column, add two electrons pointing down in those orbitals that just have one electron now (second from the top).

5. Get rid of the confusion of the red diagonal lines hybridizing. Want it to look cleaner, more like this diagram: File:Molekülorbital-Fluor.png

6. I'm not sure what the red and blue are buying me, so make that same color please. Maybe electrons black and orbitals blue? Or all black? Donno, play with it, but want it simple and clean.

7. Don't completely squash it, but a "wide" aspect ratio is more helpful for me (to incorporate in article).

'''Graphist opinion(s):''' Just wondering... why do you want to get rid of the bond/antibond labels? <span style="text-shadow:#808080 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em" class="texhtml">[[User:Hazmat2|The Haz]] _{[[User talk:Hazmat2|<font color="black">talk</font>]]}</span> 00:41, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

:It's just that this is a bit of a diversion and I won't be going into huge details of MO theory. Text will just discuss paired/unpaired and affect on magnetism. If I do another use of the image (say in an article on diatomic molecules or on MO theory in general, than I would definitely add the labels back in). But as is, the diagram is intrinically daunting, and I want to keep it "easy" for the non chemists. And I really don't want stray greek symbols that I won't be discussing anyways.[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User:TCO#Reviews needed|Reviews needed]]) 00:48, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

::Got it. As a former chemistry teaching fellow, I understand. <span style="text-shadow:#808080 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em" class="texhtml">[[User:Hazmat2|The Haz]] _{[[User talk:Hazmat2|<font color="black">talk</font>]]}</span> 01:45, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
