The correct statement with regard to `H_2^(+)` and `H_2^(-)` isA. Both `H_(2)^(+)` and `H_(2)^(-)` do not existB. `H_(2)^(-)` is more stable than `H_(2)^(+)`C. `H_(2)^(+)` is more stable than `H_(2)^(-)`D. Btoh `H_(2)^(+)` and `H_(2)^(-)` are equally stable |

Answer» Correct Answer - B Though the bond order of `H_(2)^(+)` and `H_(2)^(-)` are same (0.5) but the `H_(2)^(+)` ion is slightly more slightly more stable than `H_(2)^(-)` ion since `H_(2)^(-)` has one electron in the antibonding orbitals which results in the repulsion and hence decreases the stablity. |
