Definitions

1. A molecular orbital is a region of space within the molecule where there is a high probability of finding a particular pair of electrons.
2. A molecular orbital is merely a Schrödinger orbital which includes several, but often only two nuclei.
3. A molecular orbital is formed by linear combinations of atomic orbitals.
4. The molecular orbital is said to be approximated mathematically by a linear combination of atomic orbitals and the technique is known as the LCAO-MO method.

Nuclei

1. A molecular orbital is merely a Schrödinger orbital which includes several, but often only two nuclei.

Homo

1. The highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital are often referred to as the HOMO and LUMO, respectively.

Electron Density

1. Then two same-sign orbitals have a constructive overlap forming a molecular orbital with the bulk of electron density located between the two nuclei.

Atomic Orbitals

1. The coefficients are the weights of the contributions of the n atomic orbitals to the molecular orbital.
2. A molecular orbital is formed by linear combinations of atomic orbitals.

Atoms

1. A molecular orbital that can be described as the result of destructive interference of atomic orbitals on bonded atoms.

Electrons

1. Details on the structure of electrons in compounds can be found in molecular orbital.

Linear Combination

1. The molecular orbital is said to be approximated mathematically by a linear combination of atomic orbitals and the technique is known as the LCAO-MO method.

Molecule

1. A molecule is composed of one or more chemical bonds (covalent bonds) between molecular orbital 's of different atoms.
2. HOMO: the highest occupied molecular orbital of a molecule, ion or atom.
3. In chemistry, a molecular orbital (or MO) is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of an electron in a molecule.

Molecular Orbital

1. Electron binding energy (BE) is the energy required to release an electron from its atomic or molecular orbital.
2. Only a maximum of two electrons can occupy any orbital whether it is an atomic orbital or a molecular orbital due to electron-electron repulsion.
3. A molecular orbital is a region of space within the molecule where there is a high probability of finding a particular pair of electrons.
