What is a molecular orbital? Question 3 options: Another method of describing the orbitals of individual atoms A mixing of the atomic orbitals from an atom’s inner-most shell with those of the valence shell An area around a molecule that describes a region of space where the electrons that are shared between bonded atoms can reside A mixing of the atomic orbitals from an atom’s valence shell

An area around a molecule that describes a region of space where the electrons that are shared between bonded atoms can reside

Explanation:

A molecular orbital is an area around a molecule that describes a region of space where the electrons that are shared between bonded atoms can reside.

Molecular orbitals are formed by linear combination of atomic orbitals of about the same energy. The number of atomic orbitals that are combined to give molecular orbitals is the same as the number of molecular orbitals formed. The build up of electrons in molecular orbitals also follow the Aufbau principle, Hund's rule and Pauli exclusion principle.

it’s previous models   because when i picked that son of a gun’s answer it was wrong look for previous models because they might make it a different letter  

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
