Q. According to MOT (Molecular Orbital Theory), the molecular orbitals are formed by mixing of atomic orbitals through LCAO (linear combination of atomic orbitals). The correct statement(s) about molecular orbitals is/are:
Statement (a): bonding of molecular orbitals are formed by the addition of wave-functions of atomic orbitals of the same phase.
Statement (b): anti-bonding molecular orbitals are formed by subtraction of wave-functions of atomic orbitals of the same phase.
Statement (c): non-bonding molecular orbitals do not take part in bond formation because they belong to inner shells.
Statement (d): anti-bonding molecular orbitals provide stability to molecules while bonding molecular orbitals make the molecules unstable.
