Question

A bonding molecular orbital is of lower energy (more stable) than the atomic orbitals from which it was formed.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

I think the correct answer would be true. A bonding molecular orbital is of lower energy than the atomic orbitals from which it was formed. Having a lower energy, it makes them more stable than that of the atomic orbitals. They are attracted by nuclei at the same time.
