Basic Theory
It is very difficult to represent valence-bond
wavefunctions because they refer to two
electrons simultaneously. However, this
illustration is an attempt. The atomic orbital
for electron 1 is represented by the black
contours, and that of electron 2 is
represented by the green contours. The
top illustration represents A(1)B(2), and
the middle illustration represents the
contribution A(2)B(1). When the two
contributions are superimposed, there
is interference between the black
contributions and between the green
contributions, resulting in an enhanced
(two-electron) density in the internuclear
region.

Summary
You should know that :
In valence bond theory we start by writing down the
Lewis structure of our molecule Subsequently we
write (re ,RN ) as the product of electron pair functions
i (r 2i 1,r 2i ) as (re ,RN ) 1(r 1,r 2 ) 2 (r 3 ,r 4 )
..i (r 2i 1,r 2i ) j (r 2 j 1,r 2 j ).. n (r 2n 1,r 2n )
You should know that the singlet function
1 = C1[A(1)B (2) A(1)B (2)] [(1)(2) (1)(2)]
is m ore stable than the triplet (e.i.
2 =
C2 [A(1)B (2) A(1)B (2)] [(1)(2) (1)(2)]
You are not asked to derive the expression
for the density of th singlet .

However, you should know that density
is increased in the bonding region and that
contribute to the stability of the singlet

However, you should know that density is decreased in
the bonding region and that contribute to the higher
energy of the triplet
You will not be required to derive the energy
expression for the singlet

However you should know that the (negative) exchange
integral K is responsible for the lower energy of the singlet.
It is related to the buildup of charge in the bonding region.
