Which orbital's are equivalent in homonuclear molecule?

Answer»

`sigma_(1S) and sigma_(2s)`
`pi_(2PX) and pi_(2py)`
`pi_(2px) and sigma_(2pz)`
`sigma_(2px) and sigma_(2pz)^(**)`

Solution :`pi_(2px) and pi_(2py)`
Order of energy in molecular orbital :
`sigma_(1s) lt sigma_(1s)^(**) lt sigma_(2s) lt sigma_(2s)^(**) lt sigma_(2p_(Z)) lt pi_(2p_(x)) = pi_(2p_(y))lt sigma_(2pz) lt pi_(2p_(x))^(**) = pi_(2p_(y))^(**) lt sigma_(2p_(z))^(**)`
