Question

Atomic orbital theory and molecular orbital theory

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In atomic theory and quantum mechanics, an atomic orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom.

Molecular orbital theory assumes the wave nature of electrons ,thus during the overlapping the wave functions of different atoms interact in two ways- Destructive interference and constructive intereference. The molecules possesing higher number of bonding electrons are more stable.

Answer 2

In chemistry, the molecular orbital theory is a method for describing the electronic structure of molecules using quantum mechanics. It was proposed early in the 20th century. In molecular orbital theory, electrons in a molecule are not assigned to individual chemical bonds between atoms but are treated as moving under the influence of the atomic nuclei in the whole molecule.
