Combination of two atomic orbitals results in the formation of two molecular orbitals namely _________(a) one bonding and one non-bonding orbital(b) two bonding orbitals(c) two non-bonding orbitals(d) two bonding and non-bonding orbitalsThe question was posed to me in exam.This intriguing question comes from Molecular Orbital Theory in portion Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (a) one BONDING and one non-bonding orbital

Best explanation: F. Hund and R.F. Mullikan proposed Molecular orbital THEORY in the year 1932. According to this theory, the COMBINATION of two atomic orbitals results in the formation of two molecular orbitals NAMELY one bonding and one non-bonding orbital.
