Mol orbital theory

In coordination compounds, there was antibonding mol orbital and stuff involved in synergic bonding. How exactly do we know there are this many no. of anti bonding or bonding molecular orbitals and stuff as lobes in metals etc, not as the mot energy diagram

it is mostly using a measurement and then theorising so we measure some properties, like magnetic moments and then we go with okay this has these many electrons and then we go hmm how is that possible (that is a crude way of explaining cft) but mot is the most useful cos it uses quantum mech but for more complicated systems the computing power needed to figure it out is literally a supercomputer so some labs across the world do these calculations based on properties that are observed the 'lobes' are just probabilities in 3d space right. keep that in mind :)
