Interactions of two s orbitals: H2 Look at combinations of 1s wavefunctions:
Orbital Mixing Orbitals of samesymmetry interact.lower E orbital decreasesin E.higher e orbital increases in E.
What about different atoms? How do you know relative atomic orbital energies?
More complicated: Using symmetry and LCAO’s H2O Look at what happens to H 1s orbitals

In general: Use Symmetry Adapted Linear Combinations of Atomic Orbitals (SALCs) for terminal atoms and combine with atomic orbitals (AOs) of central atom. Examples of sigma-only bonding SALCs: (see file SigmaMOdiagramsforTMs; see SALC_O For SALCs for sigma and pi bonding. Td C3v
CH4 MOs: SALC’s for H’s in Td point group. Then relate those to C’s orbitals to predict MOs.
