NEET Chemistry Molecular Orbital Theory MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing molecular orbitals formed by the combination of two 1s atomic orbitals. Which of the following describes the nature of the resulting molecular orbitals?
Both bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals are formed.
Only antibonding molecular orbitals are formed.
Only bonding molecular orbitals are formed.
No molecular orbitals are formed.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The combination of two 1s atomic orbitals results in the formation of two molecular orbitals: one bonding and one antibonding, as described in the molecular orbital theory.
