26. Breaking the plane of symmetry results in the energy lowering of molecular orbitals 19 and 20 which combine to give σ* character along the C-Cl bond. At nonplanar geometries these orbitals become orbitals 18 and 19.

29. This assertion can be proven by letting these terms equal zero in eq 1, in which case the unperturbed energies α and γ will result.
