You can check the below given table for the comarative differences between valence bond theory and molecular orbital theory.

FeatureValence Bond Theory (VBT)Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT)
Basic ConceptOverlap of atomic orbitals.Atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals
Bond FormationDue to head-on (? ) or sideways (? ) overlap of atomic orbitals.Linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) to form bonding and antibonding MOs.
Explanation of Magnetic BehaviorOften fails to explain magnetism of molecules (e.g., O? is paramagnetic).Accurately explains paramagnetism/diamagnetism (O? is paramagnetic due to unpaired electrons in antibonding orbitals).
Bond Order Not clearly defined.Bond order = ½ (No. of bonding electrons - No. of antibonding electrons)
Electron DelocalizationElectrons are localized between two atoms.Electrons may be delocalized over multiple atoms.
Energy ConsiderationConsiders only overlapping orbitals and their energy.Considers combination and energy differences of atomic orbitals.
ApplicabilityWorks well for simple molecules like H? , HF, etc.Better for explaining molecules like O? , N? , and ions like NO? , CN?
