When $\psi_{\mathrm{A}}$ and $\Psi_{\mathrm{B}}$ are the wave functions of atomic orbitals, then $\sigma^*$ is represented by :

A

$\psi_A-2 \psi_B$

B

$\psi_A-\psi_B$

C

$\psi_A+2 \psi_B$

D

$\psi_A+\psi_B$

(JEE MAIN-2024)

Solution

Antibonding molecular orbitals are formed by destructive interference of wave functions.

$(\mathrm{ABMO}) \sigma^*=\psi_{\mathrm{A}}-\psi_{\mathrm{B}}$
