Molecular Orbital Theory of Diatomics
-Bonds result from the overlap of atomic orbitals.
-Orbital overlap simultaneously leads to the formation of both bonding and anti-bonding molecular orbitals.
-Constructive overlap results in the formation of lower energy bonding molecular orbitals.
-Destructive overlap results in the formation of higher energy anti-bonding molecular orbitals.
HOMO – Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital
LUMO – Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital
The Hydrogen Molecule (Sigma Overlap of 1s Orbitals)
Pi Overlap of 2p Orbitals
