Question

How will different orbitals mix to give bonding and nodes.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Molecular orbital theory is a method that shows that how atomic orbitals combine with other or with each other to form bonding and antibonding orbitals. It is used to determine the molecular structure of a molecule.

Nodes where the charge density is zero. The energy of bonding orbitals is lower than the antibonding orbitals.
