Lecture 25: Introduction to Molecular Orbital Theory The material in this lecture covers the following in Atkins. 14 Molecular structure Molecular Orbital.
The Born-Oppenheimer approximation The electrons are much lighter than the nuclei (m e /m H 1/1836) their motion is much faster than the vibrational.
Two Bonding Theories Valence Bond Theory (localized electron model) –Electrons in a molecule still occupy orbitals of individual atoms. Molecular Orbital.
