4.Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
medium
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.
$(\mathrm{ABMO}) \sigma^*=\psi_{\mathrm{A}}-\psi_{\mathrm{B}}$
