Question

Molecular Orbital Theory

Answer choices:

between or outside, together or apart, stabilizing or destabilizing and stabilized or destabilized

  

Question 7 1 pts Fill in the following statement: In a bonding molecular orbital, the electron density is located between the nuclei which pulls the nuclei together therefore stabilizing the bond. In an antibonding orbital, the electron density is located outside the nuclei which pulls the nuclei V therefore destabilizing apart the bond. If more electrons are in bonding orbitals than antibonding orbitals, then the nuclei are pulled together and the molecule is stabilized

Explanation / Answer

In bonding molecular orbital the electron density is present in between the nuclei whereas in anti bonding molecular orbital they are present outside the nuclei.

Therefore the blanks can be filled as

1.between

2together

3.stabilizing

4.outside

5.apart

6.destabilizing

7.together

8.stabilized

Means all the blanks have been filled correctly.
