Chemistry · Molecular Orbital Theory
Which of the following statements is NOT correct from the viewpoint of molecular orbital theory?
- 1The order of energies of molecular orbitals in N2 molecule is σ2s < σ*2s < σ2pz < (π2px = π2py) < (π*2px = π*2py) < σ*2pz✓
- 2Bond strength of N2 is maximum amongst the homonuclear diatomic molecules belonging to the second period.
- 3He2 is not stable but He2+ is expected to exist.
- 4Be2 is not a stable molecule.
Correct answer
The order of energies of molecular orbitals in N2 molecule is σ2s < σ*2s < σ2pz < (π2px = π2py) < (π*2px = π*2py) < σ*2pz
