NEET Chemistry Molecular Orbital Theory MCQ Question
Consider a diagram depicting the formation of molecular orbitals from atomic orbitals via linear combination. If the diagram shows two electron waves reinforcing each other, which type of molecular orbital is being formed?
Bonding molecular orbital
Antibonding molecular orbital
Hybrid molecular orbital
Non-bonding molecular orbital
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the formation of a bonding molecular orbital, the electron waves reinforce each other, leading to increased electron density between the nuclei, as described in the NCERT context.
