Abstract
In this chapter the rudiments of molecular orbital theory are reviewed in the light of their importance for the understanding of the resonances which dominate molecular X-ray absorption spectra. Particular emphasis is given to the symmetry classification of orbitals and how it relates to the polarization dependent dipole selection rule that governs X-ray absorption.
