What Does VO Stand For?
VO stands for Valence Orbital
Valence Orbital (VO) refers to the outermost orbitals of an atom that are involved in chemical bonding and interactions. These orbitals play a crucial role in determining the reactivity and properties of elements by facilitating the formation of covalent bonds, ionic interactions, and coordination complexes. Understanding valence orbitals is essential for predicting molecular behavior and the geometry of compounds in various chemical contexts.
