Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals. Two atomic orbitals combine to form two molecular orbitals called bonding molecular orbital (BMO) and antibonding molecular orbital (ABMO). The energy of antibonding orbital is raised above the parent atomic orbitals that have combined and the energy of the bonding orbital is lowered than the parent atomic orbitals. Energies of various molecular orbitals for elements hydrogen to nitrogen increase in the order :
σ1s<σ*1s<σ2s<σ*2s<π2px=π2py<σ2pz<π*2px=π*2py<σ*2pz

and for oxygen and fluorine order of energy of molecular orbitals is given below :
σ1s<σ*1s<σ2s<σ*2s<σ2pz<π2px=π2py<π*2px=π*2py<σ*2pz

Different atomic orbitals of one atom combine with those atomic orbitals of the second atom which have comparable energies and proper orientation. Further, if the overlapping is head-on, the molecular orbital is called Sigmaσ and if the overlap is lateral, the molecular orbital is called piπ. The molecular orbitals are filled with electrons according to the same rules as followed for filling of atomic orbitals. However, the order for filling is not the same for all molecules or their ions. Bond order is one of the most important parameters to compare the strength of bonds.
