When two atomic orbitals combine, energy of bonding molecular orbital is lowered by $$x$$ while that anti bonding molecular orbital is raised by $$y$$. Then:
Correct Option - A.
Reason:- According to conservation of energy,
Energy lowered by bonding molecular orbital=Energy raised by antibonding molecular orbital.
$$\Longrightarrow $$x=y
