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 corresponding antibonding MO |
| (b) Antibonding Molecular Orbital | (ii) Lower energy and greater stability |
| (c) Formation of molecular orbitals | (iii) Equal to number of atomic orbitals combined |
| (d) Energy levels of molecular orbitals | (iv) Determined experimentally from spectroscopic data |
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The bonding molecular orbital is characterized by lower energy and greater stability compared to the antibonding molecular orbital, which has higher energy. The formation of molecular orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine, and energy levels are determined experimentally from spectroscopic data.
