Bonding Molecular Orbitals vs Antibonding Molecular Orbitals
Bonding Molecular Orbitals
1. Formed by additional overlap
2. More Stable
3. Energy is less
4. Electron density between the bonded nuclei higher

Antibonding Molecular Orbitals
1. Formed by subtraction overlap
2. Less stable
3. Energy is greater
4. Electron density between the bonded nuclei is lower.
