Question
After understanding the assertion and reason, choose the correct option.
Assertion : In the bonding molecular orbital (MO) of H2, electron density is increased between the nuclei.
Reason : The bonding MO is ΨA + ΨB, which shows destructive interference of the combining electron waves.

Options
A.Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect.
B.Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct.
C.Assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
D.Assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct and reason is the correct explanation for the
assertion.
assertion.
Solution
Bonding molecular orbital results in increased electron density between nuclei due to constructive interference of combining electron waves.
