Question

define molecular orbital theory​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Molecular orbital (MO) theory uses a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) to represent molecular orbitals resulting from bonds between atoms. ... Chemical substances will form bonding interactions if their orbitals become lower in energy when they interact with each other.

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.
