The Central Themes of VB Theory
Themes
A set of overlapping orbitals has a maximum of two electrons that must have opposite spins.
The greater the orbital overlap, the stronger (more stable) the bond.
The valence atomic orbitals in a molecule are different from those in isolated atoms.
There is a hybridization of atomic orbitals to form molecularorbitals.

Hybrid Orbitals
The number of hybrid orbitals obtained equals the number of atomic orbitals mixed.
The type of hybrid orbitals obtained varies with the types of atomic orbitals mixed.

Contours and energies of the bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals (MOs) in H2.
The bonding MO is lower in energy and the antibonding MO is higher in energy than the AOs that combined to form them.
