Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Result Question 122

####126. The ground state electronic configuration of valence shell electrons in nitrogen molecule (N2) is written as KKσ2s2,σ2s2,π2px2,π2py2σ2pz2 Bond order in nitrogen molecule is

[1995]

(a) 0

(b) 1

(c) 2

(d) 3

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (d) In this configuration, there are four completely filled bonding molecular orbitals and one completely filled antibonding molecular orbital. So that Nb=8 and Na=2.

Bond order =12(NbNa)=12(82)=3.
