Molecular Orbitals and Bonding Concepts

- Chemical bonding occurs when valence electrons are redistributed between atoms so each atom has a full valence shell, gaining stability. - Atoms form bonds to achieve the lowest possible energy through fully occupied or singly occupied atomic and molecular orbitals. - When atomic orbitals overlap during molecule formation, new molecular orbitals are generated. Bonding orbitals hold electrons to form covalent bonds, while antibonding orbitals have the opposite effect. For bonding to occur, there must be more electrons in bonding orbitals than in antibonding orbitals.

summary oh 3 ↳ electrons distributed In orbitals of lowest possible energy for greatest stability

most stable atoms are ones with full valence shells ( outer shell )
↳ When chemical bonds form ,
electrons redistribute btw atoms so each atom

in compound has full valence shell
