Constructive and Destructive Interference
• Additive combinations (constructive interference =
positive overlap) form bonding molecular orbitals
( , ).
– These are lower in energy than the atomic orbitals.
– The electrons in these orbitals spend most of their
time in the region in between the nuclei, helping to
bond the atoms together.
Subtractive combinations
=destructive interference = negative overlap) form
antibonding molecular orbitals ( *, *).
– These are higher in energy than the atomic orbitals.
– The electrons in these orbitals can’t occupy the node
in the central region and don’t contribute to
bonding.

Zero overlap
• AOs do not interact/overlap
• Not involved in bonding
• Called nonbonding molecular orbital

+ Orbital interactions that produce bonding or antibonding orbitals in heteronuclear
diatomics occur if there is sufficient overlap between atomic orbitals, as determined by
+ their symmetries and similarity in orbital energies.
While MOs for homonuclear diatomic molecules contain equal contributions from each interacting
atomic orbital, MOs for heteronuclear diatomics contain different atomic orbital contributions.
Relative energies of interacting orbitals must be similar
OR
In heteronuclear diatomic molecules, atomic
orbitals only mix when the electronegativity values
are similar. In carbon monoxide (CO), the oxygen
2s orbital is much lower in energy than the carbon
2s orbital, so the degree of mixing is low
HF
• Fluorine is more
electronegative than hydrogen
– the atomic orbital energies are
very different
– the 1s orbital on H and the 2p
orbital on F combine to form a
molecular orbital.
– the electron density is not
equally distributed .
– greater electron density around
the fluorine atom
HF
In hydrogen fluoride, HF, symmetry allows for overlap between the H 1s and F 2s orbitals, but the
difference in energy between the two atomic orbitals prevents them from interacting to create a
molecular orbital.
Symmetry also allows for overlap between the H 1s and F 2pz orbitals, and these two atomic orbitals
have a small energy separation; they therefore interact, creating σ and σ* MOs and a molecule with a
bond order of one. 45

• The closer in energy a MO is to
the energy of one of the AO of
which is composed, the more of
the character of that AO it
show.
– The bonding ( sp ) MO more
Fluorine-like character
– The antibonding ( sp *) MO
has more hydrogen-like
character
