What is the number of bonding and antibonding electrons, respectively, in molecule?
Options
- A and
- B and
- C and
- D and
Correct answer
C. and
Step-by-step solution
The atomic number of Lithium () is .
Total number of electrons in molecule is .
The molecular orbital electronic configuration of is \sigma_{1s}^{2} \sigma^{*}_{1s}^{2} \sigma_{2s}^{2}.
Number of bonding electrons () = .
Number of antibonding electrons () = .
Therefore, the number of bonding and antibonding electrons are and , respectively.
