  2. Bonding orbitals are lower in energy than antibonding orbitals.
  3. All molecular orbitals are degenerate.
  4. Molecular orbitals do not influence bond length.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true according to molecular orbital theory?
  • Step 1: Understand what molecular orbital theory is. It explains how atoms combine to form molecules using orbitals.
  • Step 2: Learn about bonding orbitals. These are orbitals that help hold atoms together in a molecule and are lower in energy.
  • Step 3: Learn about antibonding orbitals. These are orbitals that can weaken or prevent bond formation and are higher in energy.
  • Step 4: Recognize the key principle: Bonding orbitals are always lower in energy than antibonding orbitals.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the statement about bonding and antibonding orbitals is true according to molecular orbital theory.
