Thomson's and Millikan's contributions to atomic theory:

Thomson is the first person, who suggest that the theory of the atom contains positive and negative particles and demonstrated the latter which are called "electrons".

Millikan: Millikan discovered that the weight of an electron is 1840 times smaller than a hydrogen atom that is having atomic mass 1.

<h3>What is Molecular Orbital Theory?</h3>

According to this theory,

Molecular orbitals are formed by intermixing of atomic orbitals of two or more atoms having comparable energies
The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals combined.
The shape of molecular orbitals formed depends on the type of atomic orbitals combined
Only atomic orbitals having comparable energies and the same orientation can intermix
Bonding M.O. is formed by the additive effect of atomic orbitals and thus, has lower energy and high stability.
Antibonding M.O. is formed by the subtractive effect of atomic orbitals and thus, has higher energy and low stability.
Bonding M.O. is represented by $\sigma, \pi, \delta$ while Antibonding M.O. is represented by $\sigma^*, \pi^*, \delta^*\\$
