What is the number of electrons present in antibonding orbitals of ( N ₂ ) molecule according to molecular orbital theory?

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 )
