Our 2nd Annual Scheuermann's Disease Fundraiser on the afternoon of Sunday October 4th has now been posted to the VisitPitsburgh website. ... VisitPittsburgh is a website designed to help people plan their next visit to Pittsburgh, PA.
An antibonding orbital is a molecular orbital containing an electron outside the region between the two nuclei. As two atoms approach each other, their electron orbitals begin to overlap. This overlap forms a molecular bond between the two atoms with its own molecular orbital shape.
Dioxygen. The electron configuration of oxygen is 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 4. In O 2, therefore, we need to accommodate twelve valence electrons (six from each oxygen atom) in molecular orbitals. As you can see from the diagram, this places two electrons in antibonding orbitals.
