Molecular Orbital Theory
In the molecular orbital model,orbitals on individual atoms interactto produce new orbitals, calledmolecular orbitals, which are nowidentifed with the whole molecule.

Why !o "toms #orm
Molecules*The Aufbau principle tells us to put electrons into the lowest energyconfiguration in atoms. Similarly, molecules form when thetotal energy ofthe electrons is lower in the molecule than in individual atoms.
Just as we did with quantum theory for electron in atoms, we will use the molecularquantum theory to obtain.
1. Molecular rbitals !hat are the shapesof the waves"!here are the lobes and nodes"!hat is the electron density distribution"
#. Allowed $nergies. %ow do the allowed energies change when bonds form"
!e will use the results of these calculations to ma&e some simple models ofbond formation, and relate these to pre'quantum descriptions of bonding.
These will build a (tool&it) for describing bonds, compounds and materials.

*f we calculate the wavefunctions and allowed energies of a two proton,
two electron system as a function of separation between the nuclei +thebond length, then we see how two atoms are transformed into amolecule.
This calculation tells us
- !hether a bond forms' *s the energy of the molecule lower than thetwo atoms"- The equilibrium bond length' !hat distance between the nuclei
corresponds to the minimum in the energy"- The structure of the bond' !hat is the electron density +charge

!iatomic Molecular Orbital
Theory In the case of diatomic molecules, the interactions are easy to see and may be
thought of as arising from the constructive interference of the electron waves(orbitals) on two different atoms, producing a bonding molecular orbital, and thedestructive interference of the electron waves, producing an antibondingmolecular orbital

understand

The lowest energy state of two isolated hydrogen atoms is two 1s orbitals
each with one electron. As the nuclei approach each other, the lowestenergy state becomes a molecular orbitalcontaining two paired electrons.
