Molecular Orbital. Molecular orbital describes the region having the highest probability of finding an electron of a molecule. This function can be used to calculate chemical and physical properties such as the probability of finding an electron in any specific region.
It is similar to destructive interference occurring out of phase resulting in formation of antibonding orbitals. Molecular orbital theory is a more sophisticated model for understanding the nature of chemical bonding. At an elementary level it is used to describe the region of space in which the function has a sig.
In chemistry a molecular orbital is a mathematical function describing the location and wave like behavior of an electron in a molecule.
Mulliken to describe the structure and properties of different molecules. Consider the h 2 molecule for example. The molecular orbital theory often abbreviated to mot is a theory on chemical bonding developed at the beginning of the twentieth century by f. Molecular orbital theory is a more sophisticated model for understanding the nature of chemical bonding.
