According to the frontier orbital theory, the symmetry of electrocyclic reactions is determined by:
 a. the total number of double bonds present in the molecule.
 b. the symmetry of the HOMO.
 c. the symmetry of the LUMO.
 d. proper orientation of the HOMO of one atom with the LUMO of the other atom.

Question 2

Which of the following statements is not true according to molecular orbital (MO) theory?
 a. Antibonding orbitals are higher in energy than the corresponding bonding orbital.
 b. The head-on overlap of an s and a p atomic orbital can produce a  molecular orbital.
 c. A  molecular orbital forms only from the combination of p atomic orbital wave functions.
 d. The subtractive combination of atomic orbital wave functions produces a bonding molecular orbital.

Vital signs (blood pressure, temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate) should be taken before any drug administration. Patients should be informed not to use tobacco or caffeine at least 30 minutes before their appointment.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
