Assuming that Hund's rule is violated, the bond order and magnetic nature of the diatomic molecule B ₂ is
Options
- A1 and diamagnetic
- B0 and diamagnetic
- C1 and paramagnetic
- D0 and paramagnetic
Correct answer
A. 1 and diamagnetic
Step-by-step solution
B ₂ : Total electrons =10 Configuration : 1 s^2 ^* 1 s^2 2 s^2 ^* 2 s^2 2 p_x^1= 2 p_y^1 If Hunds rule is violated, then 1 s^2 ^* 1 s^2 2 s^2 ^* 2 s^2 2 p_x^2= 2 p_y^0 So, diamagnetic Bond order = 6-4 2 =1 Chemical bonding Conceptual II
