Question

explain diagrammatically the formation of molecular orbital by LCAO​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to LCAO method, molecular orbitals are formed by the combination of atomic orbitals. In the case of H2 molecule, each H-atom consists of one atomic orbital (i.e. 1s) having one electron each. H-atoms Ψ (1s) + Ψ Ψ (1s) → Ψ MO. ...
