Question

What is the difference between bonding orbitals and antibonding orbitals

Answer 1

Answer:

Electrons in bonding orbitals stabilize the molecule because they are between the nuclei. They also have lower energies because they are closer to the nuclei. Antibonding orbitals place less electron density between the nuclei

Answer 2

☯ Bonding Orbitals :

➡ It is formed by the addition overlap of atomic orbitals.

➡ It may or may not have a node.

➡ In this orbital electron density is more in between the nuclei. Electrons in this orbital lead to attraction between atoms.

➡ Its energy is less than the energy of the atomic orbitals.

☯ Antibonding Orbitals :

➡ It is formed by subtraction overlap of atomic orbital.

➡ It always has a node in between the nuclei of bonded atoms.

➡ In this orbital electron density is less in between the nuclei. Electrons in this orbital lead to repulsion between atoms.

➡ Its energy is more than the energy of the atomic orbitals.
