Question

Based on the Molecular Orbital theory idea of combining atomic orbitals to make molecular orbitals (Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals, LCAO), if two atomic orbitals are combined to make Molecular Orbitals, they will combine in two different ways and make two different Molecular Orbitals. Explain the two different ways they would combine and indicate the type of orbital formed from each different way of combining. For the toolbar, press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac).

If you combine two atomic orbitals on two different atoms to make a new orbital or on only one atom to make a new orbital, is a hybrid orbital or a molecular orbital formed? Combining two atomic orbitals on two different atoms or two atomic orbitals on a single atom both form a molecular orbital. Combining two atomic orbitals on two different atoms or two atomic orbitals on a single atom both form a hybrid orbital. Combining two atomic orbitals on two different atoms forms a hybrid orbital, while combining two atomic orbitals on a single atom forms a molecular orbital. Combining two atomic orbitals on two different atoms forms a molecular orbital, while combining two atomic orbitals on a single atom forms a hybrid orbital.

Molecular Orbital Theory Sketch the bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals that result from linear combinations of the 2$p_{z}$ atomic orbitals in a homonuclear diatomic molecule. (The 2$\beta_{z}$ orbitals are those whose lobes are oriented perpendicular to the bonding axis.) How do these molecular orbitals differ from those obtained from linear combinations of the 2$\beta_{y}$ atomic orbitals? (The 2$p_{y}$ orbitals are also oriented perpendicular to the bonding axis, but also perpendicular to the 2$\beta_{z}$ orbitals.)
