Consider the bonding ( _ b ) and antibonding ( _ a ) molecular orbitals of the H ₂ ⁺ molecule formed by the linear combination of the atomic orbitals _X and _Y centered on the two H atoms X and Y . The correct statement is:
Options
- AAs the internuclear distance is increased from the equilibrium bond distance, the energy of _b is increased an
- BFor _ a , the probability density between the nuclei is increased by c _ X _ Y , where c is a positive real nu
- CFor the function _ a , the probability density at any point on a plane midway between the nuclei and perpendic
- DAn electron present in the _a orbital feels more electron-nuclei attraction compared to the one present in the
Correct answer
A. As the internuclear distance is increased from the equilibrium bond distance, the energy of _b is increased an
