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.
Molecular orbitals are obtained by combining the atomic orbitals on the atoms in the molecule. Consider the H2 molecule, for example. One of the molecular orbitals in this molecule is constructed by adding the mathematical functions for the two 1s atomic orbitals that come together to form this molecule.
