Chapter 10, Problem 10.101QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molecular orbital description of $\text{O}{\text{2}}_{}$ molecule’s lowest energy along with the comparison of ground state of $\text{O}{\text{2}}_{}$ with their similarities and differences has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Molecular orbital theory: Molecular orbital theory explains about the bonding, non-bonding and anti-bonding orbitals present in molecule.  A bond is generally formed in bonding electrons that shows the maximum presence of electrons than in anti-bonding electrons.  Molecular orbital theory also explains about the magnetic properties of molecule.

To explain the molecular orbital description of $\text{O}{\text{2}}_{}$ molecule’s lowest energy along with the comparison of ground state of $\text{O}{\text{2}}_{}$ with their similarities and differences
