**ATOMIC ORBITAL: the orbitals that already exist in the .
(A.O.) atoms are called atomic orbitals.

**MOLECULAR ORBITAL: orbitals that are connected .

(M.O) between atoms in a molecule are called
molecular orbitals.
 Molecular Orbital theory (MOT)

 1.Atomic orbitals combine to form new orbitals known as

molecular orbitals..

 2.Number of molecular orbitals formed are equal to the number

of atomic orbitals that overlapped before.

 3.Only those atomic orbitals form molecular orbitals which have

compareable energry

 4.When atomic orbitals overlap,they form two types of molecular

orbitals.
Bonding molecular orbital(B.M.O)
Anti bonding molecular orbital(A.B.M.O)

 5. Bonding molecular orbitals (B.M.O) has lower energy

than A.B.M.O.

 6.Axial overlapping form σ bonds

Parallel overlapping form π bonds

7. B.M.O are represnted by σ , π

A.B.M.O are represented by σ* π*
