Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Result Question 88
####90. Identify a molecule which does not exist. [2020]
(a) $Li_2$
(b) $C_2$
(c) $O_2$
(d) $He_2$
Show Answer
Solution:
- (d) For $He_2$ molecule, Electronic configuration is $\sigma 1 s^{2}, \sigma^{*} 1 s^{2}$
Bond order $=\frac{1}{2}(N_b-N_a)=\frac{1}{2}(2-2)=0$
Since, bond order of $He_2$ is zero, so it does not exist.
