Week 7 - Theories of Covalent Bonding II Flashcards
1
Q
theory developed to tackle the limitations of valence bond theory and hybridization:
A
molecular orbital theory
2
Q
Bonding vs antibonding orbitals
A
bonding = constructive interference
antibonding = destructive
3
Q
bonding molecular orbitals
A
orbitals that arise from linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) under conditions of constructive interference
