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

CH4Mos: LCAO’s for H’s in Td point group. Then relate those to C’s orbitals to predict MOs.
