According to Molecular Orbital Theory,

According to Molecular Orbital Theory,

Options

  1. AC22−{C}_{2}^{2 -} is expected to be diamagnetic
  2. BO22+{O}_{2}^{2 +} is expected to have a longer bond length than O2{O}_{2}
  3. CN2+{N}_{2}^{+} and N2−{N}_{2}^{-} have the same bond order
  4. DHe2+H{e}_{2}^{+} has the same energy as two isolated He atoms

Correct answer

A. C22−{C}_{2}^{2 -} is expected to be diamagnetic

Step-by-step solution

A] The molecular orbital energy configuration of C22−{C}_{2}^{2 -} is
σ1s2,σ1s∗2,σ2s2,σ2s∗2,π2px2=π2py2,σ2pz2{\sigma}_{1s}^{2}, {\sigma}_{1s}^{*2}, {\sigma}_{2s}^{2}, {\sigma}_{2s}^{*2}, {\pi}_{2{p}_{x}}^{2} = {\pi}_{2{p}_{y}}^{2}, {\sigma}_{2{p}_{z}}^{2}
In the MO of C22−{C}_{2}^{2 -} there is no unpaired electron hence it is diamagnetic
B] Bond order of O22+{O}_{2}^{2 +} is 3 and O2{O}_{2} is 2 therefore bond length of O2{O}_{2} is greater than O22+{O}_{2}^{2 +}
C] The molecular orbital energy configuration of N2+{N}_{2}^{+} is
σ1s2,σ1s∗2,σ2s2,σ2s∗2,π2px2=π2py2,σ2pz1{\sigma}_{1s}^{2}, {\sigma}_{1s}^{*2}, {\sigma}_{2s}^{2}, {\sigma}_{2s}^{*2}, {\pi}_{2{p}_{x}}^{2} = {\pi}_{2{p}_{y}}^{2}, {\sigma}_{2{p}_{z}}^{1}
Bond order of N2+=12(9−4)=2.5{N}_{2}^{+} = \dfrac{1}{2}\left(9 - 4\right) = 2.5
The molecular orbital energy configuration of N2−{N}_{2}^{-} is
σ1s2,σ1s∗2,σ2s2,σ2s∗2,π2px2=π2py2,σ2pz2,π2px∗1=π2py∗{\sigma}_{1s}^{2}, {\sigma}_{1s}^{*2}, {\sigma}_{2s}^{2}, {\sigma}_{2s}^{*2}, {\pi}_{2{p}_{x}}^{2} = {\pi}_{2{p}_{y}}^{2}, {\sigma}_{2{p}_{z}}^{2}, {\pi}_{2{p}_{x}}^{*1} = {\pi}_{2{p}_{y}}^{*}
Bond order of N2−=12(10−5)=2.5{N}_{2}^{-} = \dfrac{1}{2}\left(10 - 5\right) = 2.5
D] He2+H{e}_{2}^{+} has less energy as compare to two isolated He atoms
