How is molecule stability determined based on the occupancy of orbitals?

Options

  1. ABy counting the total number of electrons
  2. BBy comparing the energy levels of orbitals
  3. CBy evaluating the ratio of N b to N a
  4. DBy analyzing the color of the molecule

Correct answer

C. By evaluating the ratio of N b to N a

Step-by-step solution

The molecule stability is determined by comparing the number of electrons in bonding orbitals (N b ) to the number in antibonding orbitals (N a ).
