Compare and contrast the bonding theories: Lewis structure, valence bond theory, and molecular orbital theory used to describe the bonding in an oxygen molecule. Use appropriate diagrams in each case including the labeled Molecular orbital diagram indicating the HOMO and LUMO

(d) How many nodes are in the highest-energy occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)? (e) How many nodes are in the lowest-energy unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)? (f) How does the HOMO–LUMO energy gap for this case compare to that of the four-atom case?

i am taking gen chem 2- we are talking about lewis theory, valance bond theory and molecular orbital theory. We are asked What is the difference between an atomic orbital and a molecular orbital? which bonding theories are each type of orbital applicable/relevant?

So I think i understand that atomic orbitals describe the probable locations of electrons in atoms and m.o. theory describes the probable locations of electrons in molecules, but im unsure if the Lewis theory or the valance bond theory is applicable in the atomic orbitals??
