Molecular Orbital theory combines atomic orbitals from different atoms to form molecular orbitals. For diatomic molecules like CH and NH, we consider the valence orbitals: carbon's 2s and 2p orbitals, nitrogen's 2s and 2p orbitals, and hydrogen's 1s orbital. These atomic orbitals combine to form bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals with different energy levels.
