4.34 Write the important conditions required for the linear combination of atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals.
The important conditions required for the linear combination of atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals are as follows:
1. The combining atomic orbitals must have the same or nearly the same energy.
2..The combining atomic orbitals must have the same symmetry about the molecular axis.
3. The combining atomic orbitals must overlap to the maximum extent.
