Write the important conditions required for the linear combination of atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals.

Class: Class 12 Subject: Chemistry Topic: Basics Of Class 12th Chemistry

The given conditions should be satisfied by atomic orbitals of form molecular orbitals:

1.     The combining atomic orbitals must have an equivalent or nearly an equivalent energy. This means that during a homonuclear molecule, the 1s-atomic orbital of an atom can combine with the 1s-atomic orbital of another atom, and not with the 2s-orbital.

2.     The combining atomic orbitals must have proper orientations to make sure that the overlap is maximum.

3.     The extent of overlapping should be large
