I'm good at visual thinking so I find VSEPR theory and valence bond theory easy to understand but I'm having trouble with MO theory. 2D diagrams like this:
confuse me. I know that they represent energy levels but they don't help me visualise the concept at all. I've seen pictures of bonding and antibonding MOs like this:
but how do these look when they are actually between 2 atoms?
