Antibonding molecular orbitals (MOs) are formed when atomic orbitals combine in such a way that there is a node between the nuclei, resulting in a decrease in electron density between the atoms. This leads to a higher energy state compared to bonding molecular orbitals, which stabilize the bond by increasing electron density between the nuclei. Electrons in antibonding MOs can weaken or prevent bond formation. Commonly, they are denoted with an asterisk (e.g., σ* or π*).
MO is method of operation.

Electrons in a bonding molecular orbital spend most of their time in the region between the two nuclei, helping to bond the atoms together. Electrons in an antibonding molecular orbital cannot occupy the central region between the nuclei and cannot contribute to bonding.
According to MO theory, overlap of two p atomic orbitals produces two molecular orbitals: one bonding (π bonding) and one antibonding (π antibonding) molecular orbital. These molecular orbitals are formed by constructive and destructive interference of the p atomic orbitals.
Antibonding is a bonding in which the electrons are away from the nucleus and which is higher in energy.
No, it is not correct to say that the bond energy always decreases when a diatomic molecule loses an electron. F2 and O2 are counterexamples to this point. When a molecule loses an electron, it will come from the highest occupied molecular orbital. In both O2 and F2, this MO is an antibonding MO. Removing an electron from an antibonding MO *increases* the bond energy.
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..
No, an antibonding orbital is a molecular orbital whose energy is higher than that of the atomic orbitals from which it is formed. Antibonding orbitals weaken the bond between atoms.
The molecular orbital diagram for CN- shows the formation of bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals. In the diagram, the bonding molecular orbital is lower in energy and stabilizes the molecule, while the antibonding molecular orbital is higher in energy and weakens the bond. This illustrates how the bonding and antibonding interactions influence the overall stability and strength of the CN- molecule.
The molecular orbital diagram for cyanide shows the formation of bonding and antibonding interactions between the carbon and nitrogen atoms. In the diagram, the bonding orbitals are lower in energy and stabilize the molecule, while the antibonding orbitals are higher in energy and weaken the bond. This illustrates how the bonding and antibonding interactions influence the overall stability and strength of the cyanide molecule.
Antibonding Bond Orbital
Antibonding pi orbitals decrease the stability of a molecule by weakening the bonding interactions between atoms, making the molecule more likely to break apart or react with other substances.
In molecular chemistry, antibonding orbitals have higher energy levels and weaken the bond between atoms, while nonbonding orbitals do not participate in bonding and are typically filled with lone pairs of electrons.
In nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), the molecular orbital configuration results in a mix of bonding and antibonding interactions due to its odd number of electrons (11 total). This leads to the formation of one bonding orbital, one antibonding orbital, and a non-bonding orbital instead of pairs of bonding or antibonding orbitals. The presence of the unpaired electron in the non-bonding orbital contributes to the molecule's paramagnetic properties, further influencing its electronic structure. Consequently, the molecular orbital arrangement does not allow for two of each type to be fully populated.
