Wave Interactions Linear combination of atomic orbitals oon different atoms produce molecular orbitals oon the same atom give hybrid orbitals. Conservation of orbitals. Waves that are in phase add together. Amplitude increases. Waves that are out of phase cancel out.Wave Interactions ◼Linear combination of atomic orbitals ⚫on different atoms produce molecular orbitals ⚫on the same atom give hybrid orbitals. ◼Conservation of orbitals. ◼Waves that are in phase add together.
