A figure indicating the relative sizes and energies of atomic orbitals?
principal quantum number
How is a molecular orbital formed?
In molecular orbital theory, MO theory, molecular orbitals are "built" from atomic orbitals. A common approach is to take a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO), specifically symmetry adapted linear combinations (SALC) using group theory. The formation of a bond is essentially down to the overlap of the orbitals, the orbitals being of similar energy and the atomic orbital wave functions having the correct symmetry.
The quantum mechanical model of bonding assumes that atomic orbitals overlap and produce?
molecular orbital
Why non bonding orbitals do not participate in LCAO?
The question does not make sense. LCAO takes a linear combination of atomic orbitals from the atoms, some orbitals are not energetically favourable to produce bonds (*other exclusions are symmetry) and these do not form bonding orbitals.
Do atomic orbitals have an exactly defined size?
No

What are the different electronic orbitals?
atomic orbitals and electron orbitals

What two atomic orbitals or hybrid atomic orbitals overlap to form the c equals c bond in ethene?
sp2 hybrid orbitals overlap.
Do atomic orbitals have an exactly defined size?
No
What is the orbitals outside of the nucleus?
The "orbitals" round an atomic nucleus are electrons, in anti matter they are protons
Why sigma bond is formed?
By the overlap of atomic orbitals. In valence bond theory these atomic orbitals may be s, p or d orbitals or "hybrids" such as sp3. This is a complex area and the above is a very simple explanation.
What are uses of atomic energy?
The atomic enrergy is like any other kind of energies, it can be used to produce electricity (through fission and fusion) by heating up the water. It's used also for military use.
How many 3d atomic orbitals exist?
The 3rd period contains 2 of the 3 orbitals for the third sublevel. It has the s and p orbitals in it.
