schematically as the in-phase combination of 1s orbitals
shown as LGO(1) in Figure 4.17.

A similar procedure can be used to deduce that equation
4.16 describes the normalized wavefunction for one of the
degenerate e’ orbitals. Schematically, this is represented as
LGO(2) in Figure 4.17; the orbital contains one nodal plane.
