Answer» _____________________________________________________________★Molecular Orbital ★____________________________________________________________=> Molecular Orbital are formed by the combination of ATOMIC orbital of definite energies . Based on type of bonding , Molecular Orbital are classified as - • Bonding Molecular Orbital • Anti Bonding Molecular Orbital ◼Bonding Molecular Orbital - → These are formed by the combination of atomic orbital with LESS energy and greater stability . → These are formed by the addition overlapping of orbital . →The ELECTRON contribute to ATTRACTION in the orbital. →They are more stable due to release of less energy. ◼Anti Bonding Molecular Orbital - → These are formed by the combination of atomic orbital with more energy and less stability . → They are formed by subtraction overlapping of orbital.→ The electrons contribute to repulsion in the orbital. → They are less stable because of greater energy RELEASED .__________________________________________________________ |
