Answer to you
The features of MOT are: Two atoms come together, interact and forms a bond. All the atomic orbitals on either nuclei mix together to form a new orbital called molecular orbital. The molecular orbitals are formed by mixing of the atomic orbitals of same energy level and symmetry.

Answer:
Silent features of Molecular Orbital Theory:-)
☆ Molecular orbital theory also uses atomic orbitals to Bond formation.
☆ Atomic orbitals redistribute their energy and form molecular orbitals.
☆ Number of atomic orbitals is equals to number of molecular orbitals in molecular orbital theory.
☆ Molecular orbitals are of two types:-
a) Bonding molecular orbital
Bonding molecular orbitalb) Anti-bonding molecular orbital.
☆ Energy of bonding orbital is less than energy of atomic orbital.
☆ Energy of anti-bonding molecular orbital is higher than energy of atomic orbitals .
☆ Formation of molecular orbitals depends on LCAO [linear combination of atomic orbital] method.
