What is the magnetic character of the anion of Na2O2? |
|
Answer» The anion of Na2O2 is O22− (peroxide ion) Electronic Configuration – 8O− = 9 = 2,7 = 1s2 , 2s22p5 8O− = 9 = 2,7 = 1s2 , 2s22p5 Molecular Orbital Configuration (σ1s)2 , (σ1s)2 , (σ2s)2 , (σ*2s)2 , (σ2pz)2 , (π2px)2 = (π2py)2(π*2px)2 = (π22py)2 , (σ*2pz)0 Since, there is no unpaired electron present in molecular orbital, so it diamagnetic in nature. |
