Explain bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals.

What is the difference between bonding molecular orbital and antibonding molecular orbital?

In the following question, an Assertion (A) is followed by a corresponding Reason (R). Use the following keys to choose the appropriate answer. Assertion : Fluorine molecule has bond order one. Reason : The number of electrons in the antibonding molecular orbitals is two less than that in bonding molecular orbitals.

Assertion(A) - Fluorine molecule has bond order one. Reason(R)-The number of electrons in antibonding molecular orbital is two less than that of bonding molecular orbitals.

Distinguish between bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals. .

One-half of the difference between the number of electrons in the bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals is called

H_(2)^(+) ion contains one electron in bonding and one in antibonding molecular orbitals.

Assertion(A) - The bond order in a molecule can have any value, positive or negative, integral or fractional or zero. Reason(R) - The bond order of a molecule depends upon the number of electrons in the bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals.
