1 DO create a list of questions (to keep handy when your Trainee calls) regarding questions about BMT and mail! The call can come at any time and may be short, so plan accordingly!  DO give your Traineeâs address to loved ones, friends and family who you trust will follow the rules while writing your Trainee.
3.1 Atomic and Molecular Orbitals. We can use molecular orbital (MO) theory to describe the structure of molecules in more detail. MO theory also provides a means of predicting the shapes of molecules. In MO theory, our first. hypothesis is that bonding occurs by the overlap of singly occupied atomic orbitals. So if we.
The electrons occupying the s H-H orbital represent the bonding pair of electrons from the Lewis structure of H 2 and is aptly named a bonding molecular orbital. The other molecular orbital produced, s * H-H shows a decrease in electron density between the nuclei reaching a value of zero at the midpoint between the nuclei where there is a nodal plane. Since the s * H-H orbital shows a decrease in bonding between the two nuclei, it is called an antibonding molecular orbital. Due to the decrease in electron density between the nuclei, the antibonding orbital is higher in energy than both the bonding orbital and the hydrogen 1s orbitals.
