In chemical bonding: Molecular orbitals of period-2 diatomic molecules
…form bonding and antibonding π orbitals. (The name and shape reflects the π bonds of VB theory.) The same is true of the 2p_y orbitals on each atom, which form a similar pair of bonding and antibonding π orbitals whose energies are identical to those of bonding and antibonding π…
