QNEET-2023-Ch-308: NEET 2023 Chemistry - Class 11 NEET-2023-Ch-308 Solution: Which one of the following statements is incorrect related to…

Which one of the following statements is incorrect related to Molecular Orbital Theory? The

\pi^*

antibonding molecular orbital has a node between the nuclei. In the formation of bonding molecular orbital the two electron waves of the bonding atoms reinforce each other. Molecular orbitals obtained from

2P_x

and

2P_y

orbitals are symmetrical around the bond axis. A

\pi

-bonding molecular orbital has larger electron density above and below the internuclear axis.

Multiple Choice Options

A The $\pi^*$ � _ antibonding molecular orbital has a node between the nuclei.
B In the formation of bonding molecular orbital, the two electron waves of the bonding atoms reinforce each other.
C Molecular orbitals obtained from $2 \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{x}}$ 2 P x _ and $2 \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{y}}$ 2 P y _ orbitals are symmetrical around the bond axis.
D A $\pi$ � -bonding molecular orbital has larger electron density above and below the internuclear axis.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

In the formation of BMO , the two electron waves of the bonding atoms reinforce each other due to constructive interference. Molecular orbitals obtained from 2 P x and 2 P y orbitals are 'unsymmetrical' around bond axis.
