Question

why e density present between nuclei in binding molecular orbit has less repulsion between nuclei?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

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. The nuclear repulsions are greater, so the energy of the molecule increases.
