Question

Two differences between atomic orbital and molecular orbital

Answer 1

Answer:

The main difference between atomic and molecular orbital is that the electrons in an atomic orbital are influenced by one positive nucleus, while the electrons of a molecular orbital are influenced by the two or more nuclei depending upon the number of atoms in a molecule

Answer 2

EXPLANATION

• Atomic orbitals are mono-centric and it occurs around a single nucleus and there is no effect on stability of atoms by electrons which are within the atomic orbital while as MO are poly centric and affect or reflect the stability of molecule
