Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction to molecular orbital theory

Molecular orbital theory is based on the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) principle.

The number of molecular orbitals is formed by the number of atomic orbitals participating.

If even number of atomic orbitals are participates then 50% bonding and 50% antibonding molecular orbitals are formed.

The electrons are filled in the molecular orbitals with increasing energy of molecular orbitals.
