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.
11.5 Molecular Orbital Theory. –Bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals, properties of molecular orbitals, bond order, molecular orbital diagrams, diatomics.
Two Bonding Theories Valence Bond Theory (localized electron model) –Electrons in a molecule still occupy orbitals of individual atoms. Molecular Orbital.
