`N_2` accept electron and convert into `N_2^-`, where this electron goesA. Antibonding `pi` molecules orbitalsB. Bonding `pi` molecular orbitalC. `sigma` bonding molecular orbitalsD. `sigma`-anti-bonding molecular orbital |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A `N_2` molecule has 14 electrons. The molecular orbitals electronic configuration of the molecule is as `N_2: K K (simga2s)^(2),(sigma^(**)2s)^(2),(pi2p_(x))^(2),(pi 2p_(y))^(2)~~(sigma2p_(z))^(2)` `N_(2)^(-)` ions is formed when `N_(2)` accept an electron hence, it has 15 electrons. the molecular orbital electronic cofiguration of the molecule is as : `N_(2)^(-) : K K (sigma2s)^(2),(sigma^(**)2s)^(2)~~(pi 2p_(x))^(2),(pi 2p_(y))^(2),(sigma2p_(z))^(2),(pi^(**)2p_(x))^(1)` Hence, this electrons goes to antibonding `pi` molecular orbital. |
