Question

18 per difference between bonding and antibonding molecular orbital

Answer 1

Bonding MO

1  Bonding MO is formed by addition of overlapping of atomic orbitals .

2  they are formed when lobes of combining atomic orbitals have same signs.

3  It possesses lower energy than isolated atomic orbitals.

4  It has greater electron density in region between two nuclei of bonded atoms;

ANTI-BONDING MO

1  Anti - bonding MO is formed by subtraction of overlapping of atomic orbitals.

2  They are formed when lobes of atomic orbitals have opposite signs.

3  It possesses higher energy than isolated atomic orbitals.

4  It has lesser electron density in region between two nuclei of atoms.

THIS IS UR ANS ..

I HOPE, IT IS HELPFUL TO U....
