Identify which of the following statements are correct when molecular orbitals (MOs) are formed from two 1s atomic orbitals, each centered on different H-atom nuclei (protons). a. Two bonding MOs are formed. b. Two antibonding MOs are formed. c. One bonding and one antibonding MO are formed, with the bonding MO having the lower energy. d. One bonding and one antibonding MO are formed, with the antibonding MO having the lower energy. e. If the MOs are occupied by electrons with the same value of ms, both electrons will be in the bonding MO, as required by the Pauli Exclusion Principle and Hund's Rule.
