Question

1. A molecular orbital is
a. Monocentric
b. dicentric c. tricentric d. poly
centric


​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

a. Monocentric

Answer 2

A molecular orbital is polycentric.

• Atomic orbitals have only one type of atom so, these are monocentric.
• Two atomic orbitals combine to form a molecular orbital. Three types of molecular orbital can be formed- bonding, antibonding and nonbonding.
• The bonding molecular orbital influences more than one atom as two atoms combines to form a molecular orbital.
• So, that's why molecular orbitals are polycentric.
• The correct option is d.
