During change of `O_(2)` to `O_(2)^(2-)` ion, the electrons add on which of the following orbitals ?A. `pi^(**)` orbitalsB. `pi` orbitalsC. `sigma^(**)` orbitalsD. `sigma` orbitals |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A `O_(2) overset(+1e^(-))toO_(2)^(-)` Molecular orbital configuration of `O_(2)` `sigma1s^(2)sigma^(**)1s^(2)sigma2s^(2)sigm^(**)2s^(2)sigma2p_(z)^(2)pi 2p_x^(2)=pi2p_(y)^(2)` `pi^(**)2p_x^(1)=pi^(**)2p_(y)^(1)` therefore incoming `e^(-)` would enter into `pi^(**)2p_(x)` molecular orbital. |
