what is the difference between anti bonding molecular orbital and bonding molecular orbital?​

Answer 1

Answer:

this is your answer

thank you

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Anti bonding molecular orbital is formed when the electron waves are not in a phase i. e the atomic orbital has one positive(+) amplitude while other has a negative (-) amplitude. in this case the wave function cancels each other and forms a nodal plane between the nuclei.Therefore the two nuclei repel each other and make the system unstable.Thus antibonding molecular orbital is a repulsive orbital of high energy level
• Bonding molecular orbital is formed when the electron waves of the combining atoms are in phase i. e. both are having positive (+)amplitude due to which the molecular orbital is centered between the two nuclei of the combing atoms. due to this increased attraction between atoms the system becomes stable and the energy levels decrease. thus bonding molecular orbital is a low energy orbital
