What is Molecular Orbital Theory Overview about?
This document provides an introduction to molecular orbital theory. It describes how the molecular orbitals of diatomic hydrogen (H2) can be constructed as linear combinations of the atomic hydrogen orbitals. This yields a bonding molecular orbital (φ+) and an antibonding orbital (φ-). The energies of these orbitals are then calculated. φ+ is lower in energy and corresponds to the ground state configuration of H2, with both electrons occupying this orbital.
