Molecular orbital theory this theory suggest that when two atomic orbitals combine overlap they lose their identity from new orbitals which are known as molecular orbital where is valence bond theory when two atomic orbital combine or overlap their retain their identity...
for example... the concept can be understood by taking two eggs opened in the same frying pan side by side in which yellow portion of both the eggs are seen separately while the white portion of the both egg are mixed this analogy represent the valence bond approach
when the two eggs are mixed truly then white and yellow portion of both the eggs cannot be distinguished this anology represent molecular orbital approach
hope it helps
