Chapter 27, Problem 27.2P

For each molecular orbital in Figure 27.2, count the number of bonding interactions (interactions between adjacent orbitals of similar phase) and the number of nodes. (a) How do these two values compare for a bonding molecular orbital? (b) How do these two values compare for an antibonding molecular orbital?

Diagram the pi molecular orbitals for the ion below. This drawing should be top view and should show fusion of orbitals in-phase.
I am confused why this powerpoint slight says 'sideways overlap... leads to a p-bonding MO AND a p*-antibonding MO.' Isn't it one or the other? Why does it say AND? The orbitals can't have descrutive and constructive interaction at the same time right?
Why is the following molecule a proof thathybridisation must exist? What would have beendifferent if there was no hybridisation?
