What are the main points of similarity and difference between valence bond theory and molecular orbital theory
Answers
Answered by
0
Answer:
Valence Bond (VB) theory takes as its main actors the individual atoms and their own atomic orbitals. To study bonding, it tries to look at the overlap of the atomic orbitals. ... Molecular Orbital (MO) theory looks at the molecule as a whole unit, and treats the electrons as delocalized and shared amongst all the atoms.
