Adding electrons to these orbitals creates a force that holds the two nuclei together, so we call these orbitals bonding orbitals. Electrons in a σ s orbital are attracted by both nuclei at the same time and are more stable (of lower energy) than they would be in the isolated atoms. The asterisk signifies that the orbital is an antibonding orbital. Figure 6.24 depicts how these two trends in increasing energy relate. The out-of-phase addition (which can also be thought of as subtracting the wave functions) produces a higher energy \(σ^∗_s\) m olecular orbital (read as "sigma-s-star") molecular orbital in which there is a node between the nuclei. In any atom with two or more electrons, the repulsion between the electrons makes energies of subshells with different values of l differ so that the energy of the orbitals increases within a shell in the order s < p < d < f. The in-phase combination produces a lower energy σ s molecular orbital (read as "sigma-s") in which most of the electron density is directly between the nuclei. The two types are illustrated in Figure 8.4.3. There are two types of molecular orbitals that can form from the overlap of two atomic s orbitals on adjacent atoms. The aufbau principle tells us they should add to the lowest available energy sublevel. Go in order of the lines from top to bottom, top right end to bottom. Although this looks confusing, there is an easy way to remember. (b) When out-of-phase waves combine, destructive interference produces a wave with less (or no) amplitude. This animation demonstrates the Aufbau principle, Hunds Rule, and the Pauli Exclusion principle. \): (a) When in-phase waves combine, constructive interference produces a wave with greater amplitude.
