NEET Chemistry Molecular Orbital Theory Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Bonding Molecular Orbital (i) Higher energy than atomic orbitals (b) Antibonding Molecular Orbital (ii) Formation through constructive interference (c) Molecular Orbital Characteristics (iii) Equal number of combining atomic orbitals (d) Energy Comparison (iv) Lower energy than atomic orbitals
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-iv, b-ii, c-i, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
a-i, b-iii, c-iv, d-ii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The bonding molecular orbital is formed through constructive interference, resulting in lower energy than atomic orbitals, while the antibonding molecular orbital has higher energy due to destructive interference. The total number of molecular orbitals formed equals the number of combining atomic orbitals.
