Molecular Orbital Theory
Types of molecular orbitals that can be produced by the overlap of atomic orbitals.Head-on overlap of atomic orbitals produces
(sigma) orbitals.Side-on overlap of atomic orbitals produces
(pi) orbitals.Two s atomic orbitals can overlap and
produce two molecular orbitals designated as a s and a s
* molecular orbital.

Graphically we can represent this as

Molecular Orbital Theory
The head-on overlap of two corresponding p atomic orbitals on different atoms, say px with px produces p and p
* molecular orbitals.

Side-on overlap of two corresponding p atomic orbitals on different atoms (say py with py or pz with pz) produces and (pi) molecular orbitals.

Bond Order and Bond Stability
Bond order (bo) of a molecule is defined as half the number of electrons in bonding orbitals minus half the number of electrons in antibonding orbitals
bo =
# e in bonding orbitals # e in antibonding orbitals

Homonuclear Diatomic Molecules
Consider the overlap of the atomic orbitals of two nitrogen atoms to form an N2 molecule.
Each N atom has 7 electrons thus the N2 molecule has 14 electrons.

The greater the bond order of a bond the more stable we predict it to be.
For N2 the bond order is

Homonuclear Diatomic Molecules
MO treatment can also be applied to ions. Ions are charged and that charge affects the stability as well as the
bond order. Write out the electron configuration of the N2
+ ion in abbreviated notation (s
