Molecular Orbital Theory Atomic orbitals mix together and make: Bonding Orbitals Electrons in these orbitals help hold atoms near each other Antibonding Orbitals Electrons in these orbitals push atoms apart from each other Nonbonding Orbitals Electrons in these orbitals have no effect on bonding Molecular Orbitals can: be Sigma or Pi be spread over multiple atoms
