Molecular Orbitals and Period 2 Diatomic Molecules (Sections)

Draw a picture that shows all three 2p orbitals on one atom and all three 2p orbitals on another atom. (a) Imagine the atoms coming close together to bond. How many π bonds can the two sets of 2p orbitals make with each other? (b) How many p bonds can the two sets of 2p orbitals make with each other? (c) How many antibonding orbitals, and of what type, can be made from the two sets of 2p orbitals?
