What Does BBO Stand For?
BBO stands for Bonding Bond Orbital
BBO, or Bonding Bond Orbital, refers to a molecular orbital formed by the constructive interference of atomic orbitals from two atoms. This orbital is characterized by an increased electron density between the nuclei, which leads to the stabilization of the bond and facilitates the attraction between the bonded atoms. BBOs play a crucial role in molecular chemistry by influencing molecular structure and properties, contributing to the overall stability and reactivity of molecules.
