CHM 101 Hybridization and Chemical Bonding Objective Question

Question

What are the principles of Valence Bond Theory (VBT)?
Options
A Bond forms when atomic orbitals overlap, overlap leads to shared electron density, greater overlap means stronger bond
Correct Answer
B Bonds form by electron transfer only
C Only s orbitals participate in bonding
D Electrons do not participate in bonding
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Valence Bond Theory principles: Bond forms when atomic orbitals overlap, overlap leads to shared electron density, and greater overlap means stronger bond.
