Question

Which of the following are correct about nodal planes in molecular orbitals? There may have more than one correct answers. Pictures of sigma and pi bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals for 2nd period elements may help you solve this problem. Pictures are available from C105 textbook or lecture slides or you may use "google.com" to do some internet searching. Since 1s orbitals do not have any node, the sigma 1s antibonding orbitals cannot have any node In sigma 2p bonding molecular orbital, there are no nodal planes. Regardless it is sigma or pi, the antibonding molecular orbitals always have a nodal plane that is perpendicular to the internuclear axis Both bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals may have nodal planes.
