An antibonding orbital is a molecular orbital containing an electron outside the region between the two nuclei. ... No two electrons in an orbital can have the same quantum state. If the original atoms contain electrons where a bond would violate the rules, the electron will populate the higher energy antibonding orbital

Antibonding molecular orbitals have a higher energy than the atomic orbitals from which they were formed. The higher energy is attributed to the reduced shielding of the nuclear repulsion because of the lower electron probability density between the nuclei.

Answer 2

Antibonding molecular orbitals have a higher energy than the atomic orbitals from which they were formed. The higher energy is attributed to the reduced shielding of the nuclear repulsion because of the lower electron probability density between the nuclei.
