Antibonding orbital, LUMO and Human being

Hi there

I have some questions regarding those three things.

Beginning off, the antibonding orbital, which I am having a hard time comprehending. So as far equally I sympathize most atoms in organic chemistry accept those antibonding orbitals, for instance a carbonyl carbon, where I imagne the antibonding orbital to signal in the opposite direction of the double bond to the carbonyl or something, so is that and so? And what near for case marsh gas where are its antibonding orbitals located?

I think I accept got the fact that when another atom starts to put electrons into the antibonding orbital, it breaks down the real bond, and all of a sudden the antibonding orbital is now the bonding i. So is that truthful? Then how come not all atoms can put electrons in the antibonding orbital and thereby bind?

Also I have run into the terms LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) and Homo (highest unoccupied molecular orbital) and I really do not understand what it is, so could anyone please expalinthis?

BTW looks like a really cool forum!! :)
