This represents the Molecular Orbital (MO) diagram of H₂ molecule.

  • Two 1s atomic orbitals from H atoms combine to form:

    • Bonding orbital (σ1s) → filled with 2 electrons (↑↓)

    • Antibonding orbital (σ*1s) → empty

Bond order = (Nb – Na)/2 = (2 – 0)/2 = 1 → H₂ is stable with a single bond.
