The wave functions of Is-orbitals of two hydrogen atoms are Psi_(A) " and " Psi _(B) . Psi_(A) " and " Psi_(B) are linearly combine to form two molecular orbitals ( sigma " and " sigma^(**)) . Which of the following statements are correct ? I . sigma^(**) equal to (Psi_(A) - Psi_(B)) . In sigma - orbital, one nodal plance is present in between two nuclei . III. The energy of sigma -orbital is lower then the energy of sigma -orbital .

The behaviour of an electron in an atom is described mathematically by a wave function, or orbital. It turns out that each wave function contains three variables, called quantum numbers, which are represented as n, l and m_1 . These quantum numbers describe the energy level of an orbital and define the shape and orientation of the region in space where the electron will be found. Radial nodes are maximum in

According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals of nearly same energy of different atoms are combined and form molecule. In homodiatomic molecule two atomic orbitals which have wave function psi_(A) and psi_(B) are combined in two ways (psi_(A)pm psi_(B)) . They have two type of electron density, one is bonding [(psi_(A) pm psi_(B))^(2)] where e- density increase between nucleus. Another is antibonding [(psi_(A)pm psi_(B))^(2)] where e^(-) density decreases between nucleus. These molecular orbitals are filled according to Hund, Pauli, afbau principle. Existence of molecule depends on bond order. where bond order = ("Number of bonding "e^(-)"s- number of antibonding "e^(-)s)/(2) lf the molecule have unpaired electron it is paramagnetic otherwise diamagnetic Statement- 1: Removal of two e^(-) from N^(2) , magnetic behaviour does not change while addition of two electrons in O_(2) magnetic behaviour changes. Statement-2: In N_(2) removal of electron talces place from bonding orbital while addition of e^(-) in O_(2) is in antibonding orbital
