Answer:
Bonding orbitals place most of the electron density between the nuclei of the bonded atoms.
Antibonding orbitals place most of the electron density outside the nuclei.
Explanation:
=>Electrons in bonding orbitals stabilize the molecule because they are between the nuclei.
=>They also have lower energies because they are closer to the nuclei.
=>Antibonding orbitals place less electron density between the nuclei.
=>The nuclear repulsions are greater, so the energy of the molecule increases.
=>Antibonding orbitals are at higher energy levels than bonding orbitals.
=>Antibonding sigma orbitals have higher energy levels and less electron density between the nuclei.
=>Antibonding pi orbitals have higher energy levels and less electron density between the nuclei.

Hey !
_____________________
Bonding molecular orbitals :-
Bonding molecular orbitals are formed by addition of overlapping of atomic orbitals
They possess lower energy than isolated atomic orbitals
It has greater electron density .
Antibonding Molecular orbitals :-
Antibonding molecular orbital is formed by subtraction of overlapping of atomic orbitals
They possess higher energy than the isolated atomic orbitals
It has lesser electron density .
