Total number of antibonding electrons present in O_(2) will be-

1.	Total number of antibonding electrons present in O_(2) will be-
Answer» 6 8 4 2 Solution :MO ELECTRONIC configuration of `O_(2):` `(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)` Thus, there are total 6 ELECTRONS in antibonding orbitals.
