Key Concepts

Molecular Orbital Theory

Molecular orbital theory explains how atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals that extend over a molecule. This theory is essential for understanding the formation of bonding and antibonding interactions that determine the stability and properties of molecules.

Orbital Overlap Orientation

The way atomic orbitals overlap depends on their orientation relative to the internuclear axis. When orbitals aligned perpendicular to the internuclear axis, such as p orbitals in the x and y directions for a molecule with the z-axis, interact, they form bonds by side-on overlap.

Pi (?) Bonds

Pi bonds are formed from the side-on overlap of atomic orbitals that are oriented perpendicular to the internuclear axis. In diatomic molecules where the bonding axis is z, the p orbitals on the x and y axes overlap laterally to form a pi bond, with electron density located above and below the plane of the nuclei.
