What is the number of electrons present in antibonding orbitals of N ₂ molecule according to molecular orbital theory?
Options
- A14
- B04
- C10
- D06
Correct answer
B. 04
Step-by-step solution
The electronic configuration of N ₂ molecule is ( 1 ~s )^2 ( ^* 1 ~s )^2( 2 ~s )^2 ( ^* 2 ~s )^2 ( 2 p _ x )^2 ( 2 p _ y )^2 ( 2 p _ z )^2 No. of electrons in antibonding orbitals =4
