Vedclass · Answer

(D) According to Molecular Orbital Theory $(MOT)$: $1$. For $O_2$ ($16$ electrons),the electronic configuration is: $\sigma 1s^2, \sigma^* 1s^2, \sigma 2s^2, \sigma^* 2s^2, \sigma 2p_z^2, \pi 2p_x^2 = \pi 2p_y^2, \pi^* 2p_x^1 = \pi^* 2p_y^1$. $2$. It contains $2$ unpaired electrons in the $\pi^*$ antibonding orbitals. $3$. Bond order = $\frac{N_b - N_a}{2} = \frac{10 - 6}{2} = 2$. $4$. Thus,$O_2$ satisfies both conditions.

Which of the following molecules has two unpaired $e^-$ with a bond order equal to $2$?
