What is anti bonding molecular orbital |
| Answer» An\xa0antibonding orbital\xa0is a type of\xa0molecular orbital (MO) that weakens the\xa0chemical bond\xa0between two atoms and helps to raise the energy of the molecule relative to the separated atoms.<br>The electron density is concentrated behind the nuclei of the two bonding atoms in anti-bonding molecular orbitals. This results in the nuclei of the two atoms being pulled away from each other. These kinds of orbitals weaken the bond between two atoms. | |
