What is an antibonding molecular orbital?
The molecular orbital formed by the subtraction of electron density of two atomic orbitals is called antibonding molecular orbital. In terms of wave function, the antibonding MO is expressed as
Antibonding = ΨA – ΨB.
How many molecular orbitals (M.O’s) of H2 can be formed from the hydrogen Is atomic orbitals?
How is bonding molecular orbital in a molecule of hydrogen different from its antibonding molecular orbtial?
