In using the sum of the occupied MO energies to predict the bond angle in H 2

Question:

In using the sum of the occupied MO energies to predict the bond angle in H2A molecules, the total energy of the molecule is assumed to be proportional to the sum of the occupied MO energies. This assumption can be justified. Do you expect this sum to be greater than or smaller than the total energy?
