DEFINE MOLECULAR ORBITALS AND GIVE THE APPROPRIATE COMBINATION OF THE ATOMIC ORBITALS?

molecular orbital molecular orbital can be defined as a mathematical function which explain the wave like behaviour of an electron in a molecule.

The appropriate combination of atomic orbitals are:

1. (1s)=1SA + (1S)B

2. (1s)*=1SA – 1SB

3. (2S)=2SA + 2SB

4. (2S)*=2SA – 2SB

5. (2Px)= 2PxA + 2PxA

6. (2Px)*= 2PxA – 2PxA

7. (2Py)= 2PyA + 2PyA

8. (2Py)*= 2PyA – 2PyA

9. (2Pz)= 2PzA + 2PzB

10. (2Pz*)= 2PzA – 2PzB
