What Does BO Stand For?
BO stands for Bond Orbital
Bond Orbital (BO) refers to a molecular orbital that is formed when atomic orbitals combine during the bonding process between atoms. These orbitals are critical in determining the electronic structure of molecules, influencing their stability, reactivity, and overall chemical properties. In a bond orbital, electrons are typically shared between atoms, contributing to the attractive forces that hold them together in a molecular structure.
