Atomic orbital is monocentric while a molecular orbital is
polycentric. What is the meaning of above statements?
(a) Electron density in atomic orbital is given by the
electron distribution around a nucleus in an atom.
While in molecular orbital it is given by the electron
distribution around group of nuclei in a molecule.
(b) While an electron in an atomic orbital is influenced
by one nucleus, in a molecular orbital it is influenced
by two or more nuclei depending upon the number
of atoms in the molecule.
(c) The electron in an atomic orbital is present in one
nucleus while in molecular orbital electrons are
present on more than one nuclei depending upon
the number of atoms in the molecule.
(d) All of these
Answer:
(b) Atomic orbital is monocentric because an electron in
it is influenced by one nucleus. While molecular
orbital is polycentric as it is influenced by two or
more nuclei depending upon the number of atoms in
the molecule
