NEET Chemistry Molecular Orbital Theory Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Bonding Molecular Orbital | (i) ψ A – ψ B |
| (b) Antibonding Molecular Orbital | (ii) N b > N a |
| (c) Stability of Molecule | (iii) ψ A + ψ B |
| (d) Molecular Orbital Formation | (iv) Constructive interference |
a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The bonding molecular orbital is formed by the constructive interference of atomic orbitals (ψ A + ψ B), while the antibonding molecular orbital results from destructive interference (ψ A – ψ B). The stability of a molecule is determined by the number of electrons in bonding (N b) versus antibonding (N a) orbitals, with stability occurring when N b > N a.
