What Does GDO Stand For?

GDO stands for Generalized Diatomic Orbital

GDO, or Generalized Diatomic Orbital, refers to a theoretical framework used in molecular orbital theory to describe the electron configurations of diatomic molecules. This concept extends beyond traditional methods by allowing for a more flexible representation of bonding and anti-bonding interactions in diatomic systems. GDOs provide insights into the electronic structure and properties of molecules, facilitating improved predictions of molecular behavior in various chemical environments.
