What is an antibonding molecular orbital? The molecular orbital that contributes

Question

What is an antibonding molecular orbital?

The molecular orbital that contributes to bonding. A molecular orbital that is higher in energy than the bonding orbitals, and does not contribute to bonding. The theory that describes the orbitals in a molecule as bonding and antibonding combinations of atomic orbitals. The hybrid atomic orbital formed from mixing more than one atomic orbital together. The total number of electrons in bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals, which indicates the stability of a bond.

Explanation / Answer

option B is correct definition of the anti bonding molecula orbital

if you observe the energy level of the molecular orbitals

bonding molecular orbital having the lower in energy then after antibonding molecular orbitals are there with higher energy
