The s orbital is the one that can be occupied by no more than two electrons. All the other orbitals can also be occupied by at least two electrons.

Indicate how bonding is explained in term of molecular orbitals?
When two atoms combine, the overlap of their atomic orbitals produces molecular orbitals. An atomic orbital belongs to a particular atom, whereas a molecular orbital belongs to a molecule as a whole. Much like an atomic orbital, two electrons are required to fill a molecular orbital. A bonding orbital is a molecular orbital occupied by the two electrons of a covalent bond
What is a molecular orbital vs an atomic orbital?
according to MOT each energy level can be occupied by 2 electrons which must have opposite spins these pairs of electrons considered to occupy molecular orbital. so molecular orbital is formed from the overlap of the atomic orbitals of the atoms making up the bond.
Where are bonding electrons between two atoms?
molecular orbital.
How do you check paramagnetism and diamagnetism?
First make the m.o (molecular orbital) diagram. If the electrons are paired in an orbital then it is diamagnetic . If the electrons are not paired then it is paramagnetic.
What is a molecular orbital?
A cloud of electrons orbit an atom and its nucleus.
Molecular orbital that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond?
The answer is bonding orbital.
Is a bonding orbital a molecular orbital whose energy is higher than that of the atomic orbitals from which it is formed?
no, it's a molecular orbit that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond(:

How many electrons can be occupied by each orbital?
2 electrons
An electron in a 3s orbital penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons more than electrons in a 3p orbital?
True
What is the highest energy occupied molecular orbital for N 22?
sigma 2p

Why is oxygen molecule paramagnetic?
Answer 1) O2 molecule has two unpaired electrons which is only proved by Molecular orbitals theory (M.O.T). the M.O.T may be checked in any standard book of Inorganic chemistry.Answer 2) If you examine the orbital diagram for dioxygen, it contains a SOMO (Singly-Occupied Molecular Orbital) with 2 unpaired electrons. Dinitrogen does not have this. These unpaired electrons contribute to magnetism.
Why antibonding orbital is higher in energy than bonding orbital?
antibonding molecular orbital have higher energy than bonding molecular orbital because in the word 'antibonding' there are more letters than in the word 'bonding'.. and hence antibonding molecular orbital has higher energy..
