Answer:
The Delocalized Approach to Bonding:
Molecular Orbital Theory
The localized models for bonding we have examined (Lewis and VBT)
assume that all electrons are restricted to specific bonds between atoms or
in “lone pairs”. In contrast, the delocalized approach to bonding places the
electrons in Molecular Orbitals (MO’s) - orbitals that encompass the entire
molecule and are not associated with any particular bond between two
atoms. In most cases, MO theory provides us with a more accurate picture
of the electronic structure of molecules and it gives us more information
about their chemistry (reactivity).
