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 the corresponding atomic orbitals |
| (b) Antibonding Molecular Orbital | (ii) Greater stability than corresponding antibonding orbital |
| (c) Number of Molecular Orbitals | (iii) Equal to the number of combining atomic orbitals |
| (d) Electron Probability Distribution | (iv) Given by atomic orbitals |
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The bonding molecular orbital has greater stability than the corresponding antibonding molecular orbital, and the total number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of combining atomic orbitals, as stated in the NCERT context.
