Concept introduction:
In molecular orbital theory, two or more atoms are linked together to make molecular orbitals. It predicts the arrangement of electrons in a molecule.
Molecular orbital theory consists of bonding molecular orbital and antibonding molecular orbital. Electronic structure of a molecule is described by this theory.
The respective energies of the atomic orbitals are shown by the molecular orbital energy level diagram.
Order of increasing energy of molecular orbitals is:
Each orbital can possess maximum two electrons according to Hund’s law.
