The metal-ligand bond is somewhat strengthened by this interaction, but the complementary anti-bonding molecular orbital from ligand-to-metal bonding is not higher in energy than the anti-bonding molecular orbital from the ? bonding.

This reduction of symmetry lifts the degeneracy of the two formerly non-bonding molecular orbitals, which by Hund's rule forces the two unpaired electrons into a new, weakly bonding orbital ( and also creates a weakly antibonding orbital ).
13.
Diatomic dications corresponding to stable neutral species ( e . g . formed by removal of two electrons from H 2 ) often decay quickly into two singly charged particles ( H + ), due to the loss of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals.
14.
A "'non-bonding orbital "', also known as " non-bonding molecular orbital " ( NBMO ), is a molecular orbital whose occupation by electrons neither increases nor decreases the bond order between the involved atoms.

As this transforms the ground state bonding molecular orbitals of the starting materials into the ground state bonding orbitals of the product in a symmetry conservative manner this is predicted to not have the great energetic barrier present in the ground state [ 2 + 2 ] reaction above.
16.
While many stable molecules HOMOs consist of bonding molecular orbitals and therefore require a moderate energy jump from bonding to antibonding to reach their first excited state, the antibonding nature of molecular oxygen s HOMO allows for a lower energy gap between its ground state and first excited state.

One example of an electronic transition degree of freedom which contributes heat capacity at standard temperature is that of nitric oxide ( NO ), in which the single electron in an anti-bonding molecular orbital has energy transitions which contribute to the heat capacity of the gas even at room temperature.

In complexes of metals with these " d "-electron configurations, the non-bonding and anti-bonding molecular orbitals can be filled in two ways : one in which as many electrons as possible are put in the non-bonding orbitals before filling the anti-bonding orbitals, and one in which as many unpaired electrons as possible are put in.
19.
Due to complex interactions which arise from electron-electron repulsion, algebraic solutions of the Schr�dinger equation are only possible for systems with one electron such as the hydrogen atom, H 2 +, H 3 2 +, etc .; however, from these simple models arise all the familiar ?-bonding molecular orbitals stretching through the entire molecule rather than two isolated double bonds as predicted by a simple Lewis structure.
