Molecular Orbital Theory – Octahedral, Tetrahedral or ...
www.dalalinstitute.com1.The atomic orbital of the metal center and of surrounding ligands combine to form new orbitals, known as molecular orbitals. 2.The number of molecular orbitals formed is the same as that of the number of atomic orbitals combined. 3.The additive overlap results in the bonding molecular orbital while the subtractive overlap results in the

Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO) •We will express the MOs as a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) •The strength of the LCAO approach is its general applicability: it can work on ... and some p and d AOs, etc.). This will achieve a more flexible representation of our MOs and ...
