LCAO
Robert Sanderson Mulliken (1896 - 1986)
Approximate molecular wave function by molecular orbitals (MOs) that are each a
linear combination (LC) of atomic orbitals (AO), i.e., LCAO.
Idea
Approximate solution for molecules - LCAO “rules”
LCAO
Each MO is assumed being a linear combination of two AOs.
Only AOs of approx. similar energies contribute significantly to a MO.
Nonbonding MOs have no charge depletion and no charge buildup between the nuclei.
Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals
Bonding MOs have a charge buildup between the nuclei
Antibonding MOs have a charge depletion between the nuclei.

An orbital that contributes to a reduction in the cohesion between two atoms contributes to raise the energy of the molecule relative to the separate atoms Antibonding electrons pull the nuclei apart.

CHEM 761
A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, or between atoms and other covalent bonds.
Covalent bonds
A noncovalent bond is a type of chemical bond, typically between macromolecules, that does not involve the sharing of pairs of electrons, but rather involves more dispersed variations of electromagnetic interactions.
Non-covalent bonds
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg
The octet rule is a rule of thumb that states that atoms tend to combine that they each have eight electrons in their valence shells, giving them the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
In chemistry, a lone pair is a valence electron pair which is not shared with another atom.
Lone pair
Hydroxide Dots: lone pair
In chemistry, sigma bonds (σ bonds) are the strongest type of covalent chemical bond. They are formed by head-on overlapping between atomic orbitals. Sigma bonding is most clearly defined for diatomic molecules using the language and tools of symmetry groups. In this formal approach, a σ-bond is symmetrical with respect to rotation about the bond axis. By this definition, common forms of sigma bonds are s+s, pz+pz, s+pz and dz
2+dz2
(where z is defined as the axis of the bond). Quantum theory also indicates that molecular orbitals (MO) of identical symmetry actually mix. As a practical consequence of this mixing of diatomic molecules, the wavefunctions s+s and pz+pz molecular orbitals become blended. The extent of this mixing (or blending) depends on the relative energies of the like-symmetry MO's.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma_bond
CHEM 761
In chemistry, pi bonds (π bonds) are covalent chemical bonds where two lobes of one involved atomic orbital overlap two lobes of the other involved atomic orbital. Each of these atomic orbitals is zero at a shared nodal plane, passing through the two bonded nuclei. The same plane is also a nodal plane for the molecular orbital of the pi bond. The Greek letter π in their name refers to p orbitals, since the orbital symmetry of the pi bond is the same as that of the p orbital when seen down the bond axis.

The principle states that during an electronic transition, a change from one vibrational energy level to another will be more likely to happen if the two
vibrational wave functions overlap more significantly.

Since one cannot actually measure all the lines up to the convergence limit an interpolation is used. The convergence limit corresponds to large quantum numbers.
This is a different potential energy than what we use for the
