Good question. I'll take a stab at it. Bonds are a configuration in
which separate orbitals (mathematical constructs) form a new hybrid
orbital, one that is energetically favorable. Bonding orbitals are a
constructive addition of separate wave functions and anti-bonding
orbitals are a destructive addition of separate wave functions. Not
sure if that helps matters any.
