Expert Solution
Step 1

LCAO means the linear combination of atomic orbitals. This means that atomic orbitals combine when their atomic wave functions gets added or subtracted. If they get added it results in the formation of bonding molecular orbital and if they get subtracted it results in the formation of anti-bonding molecular orbitals.
