Question

on the basis of combination of 1s orbitals of H atoms in H2 molecule explain the formation of bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The elecronic confguration of hydrogen is 1s

1

.

Thus, it contains one unpaired electron in 1s orbital.

Two H atoms, each having one unpaired electron, combine and share their electron to form a covalent bond in which two electrons are paired.

H⋅+H⋅→H⋅⋅H
