    This document discusses molecular orbital theory and its application to diatomic molecules. It covers topics like hybridization, pi bonds, and using molecular orbital theory to predict molecular geometries and whether molecules are paramagnetic or diamagnetic. Molecular orbital theory involves delocalized orbitals that are spread over multiple atoms. The energies and occupancies of bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals can explain the electronic structures of diatomic molecules like N2, O2, and C2-.
