Take NA as the number of Anti-bonding molecular orbitals and NB as the number of Bonding molecular orbitals. The molecule is stable when NA ____________ NB.

Take NA as the number of Anti-bonding molecular orbitals and NB as the number of Bonding molecular orbitals. The molecule is stable when NA ____________ NB. Correct Answer is less than

When a molecule consists both bonding molecular orbitals and anti-bonding molecular orbitals, the higher the number of bonding orbitals, the more the bonding influence and the more stable the molecule will be and vice-versa.
