If the orbitals of two atoms overlap and interact with constructive interference, the resulting wave, which will have increased amplitude (or electron density)between the nuclei, is referred to as a( n)_____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constructive interference between atomic orbitals leads to the formation of a bonding molecular orbital, which has increased electron density between the nuclei, stabilizing the bond.
