How are molecular orbitals formed? Explain.
(N/A) Molecular orbitals are formed by the Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals $(LCAO)$.
The bonding molecular orbital is formed by the addition of atomic wave functions: $\psi_{MO} = \psi_A + \psi_B$.
The antibonding molecular orbital is formed by the subtraction of atomic wave functions: $\psi_{MO}^* = \psi_A - \psi_B$.
The bonding molecular orbital is formed by the addition of atomic wave functions: $\psi_{MO} = \psi_A + \psi_B$.
The antibonding molecular orbital is formed by the subtraction of atomic wave functions: $\psi_{MO}^* = \psi_A - \psi_B$.
