⤵ANSWER⤵
In chemical bonding theory, an antibonding orbital is a type of molecular orbital (MO) that weakens the chemical bond between two atoms and helps to raise the energy of the molecule relative to the separated atoms. Such an orbital has one or more nodes in the bonding region between the nuclei.✔✔
