Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 308
Question: Which of the following diatomic molecules would be stabilised by the removal of an electron-
Options:
A) $ O_2 $
B) $ C{N^{\odot }} $
C) $ N_2 $
D) $ C_2 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- From $ O_2 $ the election is removed form anti-bonding orbital. $ K{K^{*}}\sigma 2s^{2},{{\sigma }^{*}}2s^{2},\sigma 2p_z^{2},(\pi 2p_y^{2}=\pi 2p_x^{2}){{\pi }^{*}}2p_y^{1}{{\pi }^{*}}2p_x^{1} $
