Question

in band theory of metal which orbital has lower energy​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Recall, however, that each of the metal atoms we started with contained only a single electron in each s orbital, so there are only n electrons to place in the band. Just as with atomic orbitals or molecular orbitals, the electrons occupy the lowest energy levels

Answer 2

Answer:

         Molecular orbital has lower energy in the band theory of metal.

Explanation:

•   When different from a metal band knocking out hard-hitting rhythms, band theory for metals is built on Molecular Orbital (MO) theory in which the metal atoms combine atomic orbitals into bonding (lower in energy).
• When antibonding (higher in energy) molecular orbitals are similar to covalent molecules but with a key difference.
