NEET Chemistry Molecular Orbital Theory Match the Following Question

Type: Match the Following-match the column-Medium-Class 11

Match Column-I with Column-II.

Column-I Column-II (a) Bonding Molecular Orbital (i) ψ A – ψ B (b) Antibonding Molecular Orbital (ii) Located between the nuclei (c) Nodal Plane (iii) ψ A + ψ B (d) Electron Density (iv) High electron density away from nuclei

Choose the correct matching:

A

a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii

B

a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv

C

a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-iv

D

a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Bonding molecular orbitals are formed by the addition of atomic orbitals (ψ A + ψ B), while antibonding molecular orbitals are formed by their subtraction (ψ A – ψ B). The nodal plane indicates regions of zero electron density, and electron density in bonding orbitals is primarily located between the nuclei, whereas in antibonding orbitals, it is found away from the nuclei.
