Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals . Two atomic orbitals combine to form two molecular orbitals, called Bonding Molecular Orbital (BMO) and Anti - Bonding Molecular Orbital (ABMO). Different atomic orbitals of one atom combine with those atomic orbitals of the second atom which have comparable energles and proper orientationFurther, if overlapping is head on, the molecular orbitals is called 'sigma' and if the overlap is lateral, the molecular orbital is called 'pi' . The molecular orbitals are filled with electrons following the same rules as followed for filling of atomic orbitals .

Answer» BMO is lowered by the greater amount of energy than the amount by which ABMO is raised BMO is lowered by greater amount of energy than the amount by which ABMO is raised . BMO is lowered by less amount of energy than the amount by which ABMO is raised. Any ONE of the above is POSSIBLE . Solution :ABMO is raised more in energy than the energy by which BMO are lowered as COMPARED to the energy of combining ATOMIC ORBITALS .
