	Molecular Orbital Theory
		Molecular orbital theory is more powerful than valence-bond theory because the orbitals reflect the geometry of the molecule to which they are applied.
		Molecular orbitals are obtained by combining the atomic orbitals on the atoms in the molecule.
		In molecular orbital theory, we calculate bond orders by assuming that two electrons in a bonding molecular orbital contribute one net bond and that two electrons in an antibonding molecular orbital cancel the effect of one bond.

	Molecular Geometry - Molecular orbitals, Bonding theories
		Bonding orbitals allow for increased electron-nucleus attraction and decreased nucleus-nucleus repulsion, therefore electrons in such orbitals tend to draw atoms together and bond them to each other.
		Hence, such a molecular geometry (or shape) is called "linear." When we have three bonded atoms (in a triatomic molecule), the three atoms may form either a straight line, creating a linear molecule, or a bent line (similar to the letter V), creating a "bent," "angular," "nonlinear," or "V-shaped" molecule.
		Thus, the four electrons of a double bond or the six electrons of a triple bond are not independent of one another, but form coordinated "sets" of four or six electrons that try to get as far away from other sets of electrons as possible.

	Molecular Orbital Approach to Bonding
		Orbitals are generally described as a region, or volume, inside which we are most likely to find a pair of electrons, if the orbital is filled.
		Each resulting bond is formed from the 1s orbital of the hydrogen, and from 1/4 s and 3/4 p on the carbon.
		The directed sigma bond between the carbons is far stronger that the pi bond, due to greater overlap.

	Molecular Orbital Theory
		The goal of molecular orbital theory is to describe molecules in a similar way to how we describe atoms, that is, in terms of orbitals, orbital diagrams, and electron configurations.
		Molecular orbitals are formed from the overlap of atomic orbitals.
		Because electrons in the molecular orbital are lower potential energy than in separate atomic orbitals, energy would be required to shift the electrons back into the 1s orbitals of separate atoms.

	Bonds
		The separation between the anti-bonding and bonding molecular orbitals formed will be a direct result of overlap of the atomic orbitals used to form them.
		In the second sigma bonding case, the p orbital can reach out to the s orbital, but the overlap is smaller because the s orbital cannot reach out to the p orbital.
		Therefore, the bonding orbital is said to be at a negative energy.

	Structure & Bonding (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ionic and covalent bonds represent the limits of bonding, and covalent bonds between atoms with differing electronegativities will tend to be polarized, with the greatest electron density being associated with the most electronegative atom; again, ionic bonds represent the upper limit of this polarization.
		Bonding between atoms can be described using Molecular Orbital Theory, in which bonds are formed by overlap between atomic orbitals; the more the orbitals overlap, the stronger the covalent bond.
		The bonding geometry, however, differs from that predicted from the simple utilization of outer classical shell orbitals, and the geometry is best described by hybrid combinations of these orbitals.

	Molecular orbitals
		The molecular orbital model is by far the most productive of the various models of chemical bonding, and serves as the basis for most quantiative calculations, including those that lead to many of the computer-generated images that you have seen elsewhere in these units.
		These orbitals are not occupied in the ground states of the parent atoms, so we need not concern ourselves with them, although in a more thorough treatment their existence would need to be taken into account.
		Although two atomic p orbitals will be expected to split into bonding and antibonding orbitals just as before, it turns out that the extent of this splitting, and thus the relative energies of the resulting molecular orbitals, depend very much on the nature of the particular p orbital that is involved.

	UV/Visible Spectrophotometry
		Pi bonds between two carbon atoms will have a different a Pi---> Pi transition compared to Pi bonds between a carbon and an Oxygen atom (a carbonyl) or a Pi bond between a carbon atom and a nitrogen atom (a nitrile).
		Other atoms such as Hydrogen(as in an aldehyde) or another SP carbon(as in a ketone) that would be bonded to one of the Pi bonded atoms in the molecule would also cause the energy of transition to vary.
		If we compare the molecular orbital levels in a non-conjugated alkene with the molecular orbitals of a conjugated diene, we find that for a conjugated diene there are two Pi bonding and two Pi antibonding molecular orbitals in the diene compared to one each in the alkene.

		In any sequence, each carbon atom is bonded to two neighboring carbon atoms, one by a single bond (two electrons, shown as a single line) and the other by a double bond (four electrons, a double line).
		An alternating sequence of single and double bonds is therefore the necessary structural requirement for color in organic molecules, because it produces electrons delocalized in molecular orbitals.
		The size of the molecule (which determines the size of the molecular orbital) is another.

		In addition the 2 2s orbitals of the O atoms were not either part of the diagram as part of the molecular orbitals or atomic orbitals.
		It turns out, however, that the bond lengths for the n=3 atoms go up faster than the size of the px and py orbitals, so that the ability to overlap to make pi bonds is quite poor (except for S and P which have large enough Zeffs that they can make somewhat shorter sigma bonds).
		A sigma bond has no nodes in the molecular orbital (wavefunction); it is made by direct overlap of AO's on the neighboring atoms, and is characterized by a large electron density between the atoms being bonded.
