**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Atomic Orbitals**: - Atomic orbitals are regions in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons. Each atomic orbital is associated with a single nucleus (the nucleus of the atom). - Since atomic orbitals are influenced by only one nucleus, they are referred to as "monocentric." 2. **Understanding Molecular Orbitals**: - Molecular orbitals, on the other hand, are formed when atomic orbitals from different atoms combine. They represent regions in a molecule where there is a high probability of finding electrons that are shared between two or more nuclei. ...
