Molecular Orbital Energy Diagram

The video tutorial explains the formation of molecular orbitals through additive and subtractive combinations of atomic orbitals, resulting in bonding and antibonding orbitals. It covers Sigma and Pi orbitals, their symmetry, and electron density distribution. The energy levels of these orbitals are discussed, particularly for homonuclear diatomic molecules of the second row elements. The tutorial also explains how electron configurations determine molecular stability, bond order, and magnetic properties, using examples like dioxygen and liquid nitrogen.
