Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Bond order =12= {1 \over 2} [Nb −- Na]

Nb = No of electrons in bonding molecular orbital

Na == No of electrons in anti bonding molecular orbital

(4)     \,\,\,\, upto 14 electrons, molecular orbital configuration is

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 26th February Evening Shift Chemistry - Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure Question 143 English Explanation 1

Here Na = Anti bonding electron == 4 and Nb = 10

(5)     \,\,\,\, After 14 electrons to 20 electrons molecular orbital configuration is - - -

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 26th February Evening Shift Chemistry - Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure Question 143 English Explanation 2

Here Na = 10

and Nb = 10

(a) Molecular orbital configuration of Ne2 (20 electrons) is

σ1s2  σ1s2∗ {\sigma _{1{s^2}}}\,\,\sigma _{1{s^2}}^ * \, σ2s2  σ2s2∗ {\sigma _{2{s^2}}}\,\,\sigma _{2{s^2}}^ * \, σ2pz2  π2px2=π2py2  π2px2∗  =π2py2∗{\sigma _{2p_z^2}}\,\,{\pi _{2p_x^2}} = {\pi _{2p_y^2}}\,\,\pi _{2p_x^2}^ * \,\, = \pi _{2p_y^2}^ * σ2pz2∗\sigma _{2p_z^2}^*

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, Na = 10

Nb = 10

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, BO = 12[10−10]=0{1 \over 2}\left[ {10 - 10} \right] = 0

(Note : All inert gases has BO = 0 and it does not exist as molecule. Here Ne is also an inert gas.)

(b) Moleculer orbital configuration of N2N_2 (14 electrons) is

σ1s2 σ1s2∗ σ2s2 σ2s2∗ π2px2 = π2py2 σ2pz2{\sigma _{1{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{1{s^2}}^ * \,{\sigma _{2{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{2{s^2}}^ * \,{\pi _{2p_x^2}}\, = \,{\pi _{2p_y^2}}\,{\sigma _{2p_z^2}}

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, Na = 4

Nb = 10

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, BO = 12[10−4]=3{1 \over 2}\left[ {10 - 4} \right] = 3

(d) Molecular orbital configuration of F2 (18 electrons) is

σ1s2  σ1s2∗ {\sigma _{1{s^2}}}\,\,\sigma _{1{s^2}}^ * \, σ2s2  σ2s2∗ {\sigma _{2{s^2}}}\,\,\sigma _{2{s^2}}^ * \, σ2pz2  π2px2=π2py2  π2px2∗  =π2py2∗{\sigma _{2p_z^2}}\,\,{\pi _{2p_x^2}} = {\pi _{2p_y^2}}\,\,\pi _{2p_x^2}^ * \,\, = \pi _{2p_y^2}^ *

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, Na = 8

Nb = 10

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, BO = 12[10−8]=1{1 \over 2}\left[ {10 - 8} \right] = 1

(d) Molecular orbital configuration of O2 (16 electrons) is

σ1s2  σ1s2∗ {\sigma _{1{s^2}}}\,\,\sigma _{1{s^2}}^ * \, σ2s2  σ2s2∗ {\sigma _{2{s^2}}}\,\,\sigma _{2{s^2}}^ * \, σ2pz2  π2px2=π2py2  π2px1∗  =π2py1∗{\sigma _{2p_z^2}}\,\,{\pi _{2p_x^2}} = {\pi _{2p_y^2}}\,\,\pi _{2p_x^1}^ * \,\, = \pi _{2p_y^1}^ *

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, Na = 6

Nb = 10

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, BO = 12[10−6]=2{1 \over 2}\left[ {10 - 6} \right] = 2
