Concept introduction:
The molecular orbital is a combination of two atomic orbitals. It is used to represent the regions in a molecule where the electron is likely to be present in an orbital. It represents the wave-like nature of an electron in a molecule. It may be symmetric or antisymmetric. It may be bonding, antibonding or non-bonding. It may be HOMO or LUMO.
