Write the electronic configuration of oxygen molecule on the basis of Molecular Orbital Theory. Justify the presence of double bond in it and account for its paramagnetic character |
|
Answer» Answer: THUS, oxygen MOLECULE has two bonds. i.e., one is bond and one p bond. The last two ELECTRONS in p2px∙ and p2py∙ ORBITALS will remain unpaired. Therefore, oxygen molecule has paramagnetic character due to the presence of two unpaired electrons. |
