Molecular Orbitals - Introduction

Bonding in Molecules is facilitated through molecular orbitals. In the following molecular orbitals for selected compounds will be shown and visualized. Molecular orbitals are made from linear combinations of atomic orbitals. These combinations obeys certain symmetry rules. These are discussed in the appropriate chapter of an inorganic book.
