electrons in Bonding orbitals stabilize the moliqule because they are between the neuclii the have lower energies anti bonding orbitals please less electron density between the neuclii anti bonding orbitals are at higher energy levels than bonding orbitals

Answer:
BMO:-
Here wave function are added.
Electron density is more
attraction is present
Constructive interference
Doesn't have nodal plane
Energy of BMO is less
Electron placed in a BMO stabilise a molecule.
ABMO:-
Wave function is subtracted
Electron density is less
repulsion is present
Destructive interference
Have nodal plane between nuclei of bonded atom
Energy is high
Destabilizes the molecule
