| 1. | :I'd say Atomic orbital is your best bet.
|
| 2. | Each atomic orbital corresponds to a particular energy level of the electron.
|
| 3. | In MO theory molecular orbitals form by the overlap of atomic orbitals.
|
| 4. | Significant atomic orbital overlap explains why sp bonding may occur.
|
| 5. | One article not mentioned is Linear combination of atomic orbitals.
|
| 6. | The key to understanding this lies in understanding how atomic orbitals work.
|
| 7. | See Linear combination of atomic orbitals molecular orbital method.
|
| 8. | These atomic orbitals are called Slater-type orbitals.
|
| 9. | Two atomic orbitals can overlap in two ways depending on their phase relationship.
|
| 10. | A sigma bonding orbital is created between the atomic orbitals with like symmetry.
