Diagram of the HOMO and LUMO of a molecule. Each circle represents an electron in an orbital; when light of a high enough frequency is absorbed by an electron in the HOMO, it jumps to the LUMO.

If existent, the molecular orbitals at one energy level below the HOMO and one energy level above the LUMO are also found to play a role in frontier molecular orbital theory. They are named

As a rule of thumb, the smaller a compound's HOMO–LUMO gap, the more stable the compound. 460: 394: 103: 491: 453: 247: 232: 486: 222: 227: 162: 134: 361: 35: 31: 267: 237: 122: 284: 182: 17: 433: 390: 87: 437: 344: 314: 119: 41: 150: 142: 54: 480: 340: 310: 138: 384: 335: 305: 146: 410: 161:
