Question

what is molecular orbital theory ?

Answer 1

In chemistry, molecular orbital(MO) theory is a method for determining molecular structure in which electrons are not assigned to individual bonds between atoms, but are treated as moving under the influence of the nuclei in the whole molecule.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Molecular orbital theory :

1. It regards the nuclei of the molecules as polycentric and constructs the molecular orbitals.

2. The Atomic orbitals lose their individual identity while combining.

3. It takes into account only the increase or the decrease in the electron density at over lapping.
