ANSWER: True
explanation: The arrangement of bonding molecular orbitals and anti-bonding molecular orbitals is given in the image. It is clear that the bonding molecular orbital has lesser energy and more stability than anti-bonding molecular orbitals.

False, the bonding molecular orbital is not lowered by a greater amount of energy than the amount by which anti-bonding molecular orbital is raised.
- Both the bonding and the anti-bonding molecular orbitals are decreased and increased respectively by the same magnitude of energy with respect to the atomic orbitals.
- This is valid since the law of conservation of energy cannot be violated in the process of combination of two atomic orbitals to form a bonding and an anti-bonding orbital.
