Which one of the following statements is incorrect related to Molecular Orbital Theory?
- AThe antibonding molecular orbital has a node between the nuclei.
- BIn the formation of bonding molecular orbital, the two electron waves of the bonding atoms reinforce each other.
- CMolecular orbitals obtained from and orbitals are symmetrical around the bond axis.
- DA -bonding molecular orbital has larger electron density above and below the internuclear axis.

Correct answer: C
In the formation of $\mathrm{BMO}$, the two electron waves of the bonding atoms reinforce each other due to constructive interference. Molecular orbitals obtained from $$2 \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{x}}$$ and $$2 \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{y}}$$ orbitals are 'unsymmetrical' around bond axis.
