The total number of anti bonding molecular orbitals, formed from 2s2s and 2p2p atomic orbitals in a diatomic molecule is _____________.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The atomic orbitals combine to form a new set of equivalent orbitals known as hybrid orbitals. Unlike pure orbitals, hybrid orbitals are used in bond formation. The phenomenon is known as hybridisation, which can be defined as the process of intermixing of the orbitals of slightly different energies to redistribute their energies, resulting in the formation of a new set of orbitals of equivalent energies and shape.

The number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that get hybridised.

Antibonding molecular orbital from 2s=12s = 1 that is σ∗2s\sigma * 2s

Antibonding molecular orbital from 2p=32p = 3 that is σ∗2px,π∗2pyandπ∗2pz\sigma * 2{p}_{x}, \pi * 2{p}_{y}and\pi * 2{p}_{z}.

Total =4= 4
