Concept introduction: Two or more than two atomic orbitals overlap to form bond, these orbitals are called molecular orbitals. Count of molecular orbital obtained is same as count of atomic orbitals mixed.
Two forms of molecular orbital are obtained. These are bonding and antibonding orbital.
Bonding orbitals are those in that electrons are in between nucleus of two atom. Antibonding orbitals are those in which electrons are away from nucleus of two-atom. Also, electrons in antibonding orbital have energy high as compared to bonding orbital.

- Write the va lence bond wavefunction of a P2 molecule. Why is P4 a stable form of molecular phosphorus?arrow_forwardThree biologically Important diatomic species,either because they promote or inhibit life, are (a) CO, (b) NO, and (c) CN−. The first binds to hemoglobin, the second is a chemical messenger, and the third interrupts the respiratory electron transfer chain. Their biochemical action is a reflection of their orbital structure. Deduce their ground-state electron configurations using sigma and pi. (Draw MO).
