Hey mate here is ur answer....
YOUR QUESTION:: WHAT IS MOLECULAR ORBITAL THEORY?
ANSWER::. molecular orbital theory is a method for describing the electronic structure of molecules.
According to the Molecular Orbital Theory, individual atoms combine to form molecular orbitals. ... Therefore, we can describe an electron in an atom as occupying an atomic orbital.
These are solutions to the Schrodinger wave equation. Electrons in a molecule occupy molecular orbitals.Because arguments based on atomic orbitals focus on the bonds formed between valence electrons on an atom, they are often said to involve a valence-bond theory.
POSTULATES OF MOT:
✓In molecules electrons are present in molecular orbitals. The electron filling is in accordance with Pauli's exclusion principle,Aufbau principle and Hund's rule.
✓ When two atomic orbitals (AO's) combine together two molecular orbitals (MO's) are formed.
FUNDAMENTAL STEPS IN DERIVING MO DIAGRAMS
Find the valence electron configuration of each atom in the molecule. ...
Decide if the molecule is homonuclear of heteronuclear. ...
Fill molecular orbitals using energy and bonding properties of the overlapping atomic orbitals. ...
Use the diagram to predict properties of the molecule.

In chemistry, molecular orbital theory is a method for describing the electronic structure of molecules. Electrons are not assigned to individual bonds between atoms, but are treated as moving under the influence of the nuclei in the whole molecule
