Energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003927",
  "term": "Energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The energy level of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) in a molecule, representing the orbital from which an electron is most easily removed. This energy is directly related to the ionization potential of the molecule. A higher HOMO energy indicates a greater tendency for the molecule to donate electrons in chemical reactions.",
