JEE Main2018ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
According to molecular orbital theory, which of the following molecule will not be available?
Options
- AH 2 2 -
- BHe 2 2 +
- CHe 2 +
- DH 2 -
Correct answer
A. H 2 2 -
Step-by-step solution
The electronic configuration of H 2 2 ⊖ is ⇒       σ 1 s 2 ,   σ * 1 s 2 Bond order of H 2 2 ⊝ = N b - N a 2 = 2 - 2 2 = 0 Hence, H 2 2 ⊖ does not exist, due to zero bond order.
