JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure
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 \(\psi_A+\psi_B\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\psi_A-\psi_B\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Antibonding molecular orbitals are formed by destructive interference of wave functions. \((\mathrm{ABMO}) \sigma^*=\psi_{\mathrm{A}}-\psi_{\mathrm{B}}\)
