  • A
    Atomic orbitals must have comparable energies and of proper symmetry.
  • B
    Only atomic orbitals must be in proper symmetry.
  • C
    Only atomic orbitals must be of comparable energies.
  • D
    None of the above.

Answer

  1. Atomic orbitals must have comparable energies and of proper symmetry.

EXplanation:

According to molecular orbital theory (MOT), the atomic orbitals of comparable energies and proper symmetry combine to form molecular orbitals.
