How does a molecular orbital differ from an atomic orbital?

Molecular consists of multiple atomic orbitals


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.


Molecular orbital that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond?

How are atomic and molecular orbitals related?

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..
