Correct Answer: 4
Solution and Explanation
In molecular orbital theory, the anti-bonding molecular orbitals formed from atomic orbitals are as follows:
- Anti-bonding molecular orbital from 2s: 1
- Anti-bonding molecular orbitals from 2p: 3
Thus, the total number of anti-bonding molecular orbitals is:
\(1 + 3 = 4\)
The Correct Answer is: 4
