Question

Define molecular orbital theory?​

Answer 1

In this, the number of bonds is half the difference in the bonding and anti-bonding electrons.

Special Points:-

• It helps in predicting the paramagnetic or diamagnetic character of the molecules.
• In this theory resonance is not at all considered.

Answer 2

Answer:

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.
