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.
What is delocalized molecular orbital?
A delocalised molecular orbital is one that extends across more than 2 atomic centres.
What is the disadvantages of molecular orbital approach?
according to molecular orbital theory{MOT} O+ has bond order 2.5 and O has bond order 2 but actually O is more stable than O+.
Is an antibonding orbital a molecular orbital whose energy is lower than that of the atomic orbital from which it is formed?

How does a molecular orbital differ from an atomic orbital?
Molecular consists of multiple atomic orbitals

Can orbital hybridization theory can describe both the shape and bonding of the molecules?
Orbital hybridization provides information about both molecular bonding and molecular shape.
How are atomic and molecular orbitals related?
"just as an atomic orbital belongs to a particular atom, a molecular orbital belongs to a molecule as a whole" -prentice hall chemistry
Are sigma bonding molecular orbital are gerade?
yes,sigma orbital are gerade as these orbitals are symetrical
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..
What is the molecular orbital structure for carbon dioxide?
linear
