In chemistry, a molecular orbital (or MO) is a region in which an electron may be found in a molecule. Molecular orbitals are described by wave functions, mathematical solutions to the Schrödinger wave equation for a molecule, which specify the spatial distribution and energy of up to two electrons within it. They can be quantitatively approximated using the Hartree-Fock or Self-Consistent Field method.
