HOMO and LUMO are terms used in molecular orbital theory to describe the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, respectively. These concepts are important in understanding the electronic structure of molecules, particularly in fields like chemistry and materials science. 1. **HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital)**: - The HOMO is the molecular orbital that contains the highest energy electrons in a molecule. It is the most energetic orbital that is completely filled with electrons.
