Question

differentiate between valence bond theory and molecular orbital theory...​

Answer 1

Answer:

Valence theory explains about molecules occupying atomic orbitals whereas molecular orbitals theory explains about the mixing of atomic orbitals when forming molecules. ... In valence bond theory, the resulting molecular orbital is obtained by the combination of two wave functions of two unpaired electrons.
