Question

What are the salient features of molecular orbital theory?

Answer 1

Answer:

Atoms have atomic orbitals with one nuclei and Molecules have molecular orbitals with n nuclei. Thus, atoms are monocentric while molecules are polycentric. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the atomic orbitals mixing. Molecular orbitals can be bonding, anti-bonding, and non-bonding orbitals.
