According to molecular orbital theory, which of the following will not be a viable molecule?
Options
- AH 2 2 -
- BH e 2 2 +
- CH e 2 +
- DH 2 -
Correct answer
A. H 2 2 -
Step-by-step solution
Species Bond order H 2 2 - B.O. = 1 2 [ 2 - 2 ] = 0 (does not exist) H e 2 2 + B.O. = 1 2 [ 2 - 0 ] = 1 (exist) H e 2 + B.O. = 1 2 [ 2 - 1 ] = 0.5 (exist) H 2 - B.O. = 1 2 [ 2 - 1 ] = 0.5 (exist) Species Bond order
