Question

If Nx is the number of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals of an atom and Ny is the number of electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals, then the molecule/atom will be stable if (A) Nx < Ny (B) Nx=Ny (C) Nx>Ny (D) Nx≤ Ny

Stability of molecule/ions depends on number of electrons in bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals. Electrons in bonding molecular orbitals>electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals

Q. If $N_{x}$ is the number of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals of an atom and $N_{y}$ is the number of electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals, then the molecule/atom will be stable if

$N_{x} < N_{y}$

$N_{x} = N_{y}$

$N_{x} > N_{y}$

$N_{x} \leq N_{y}$

Stability of $m o l ec u l e / i o n s$ depends on number of electrons in bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals.

Electrons in bonding molecular $or bi t a l s > e l ec t ro n s$ in antibonding molecular orbitals

Q. If Nx​ is the number of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals of an atom and Ny​ is the number of electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals, then the molecule/atom will be stable if

Nx​<Ny​

Nx​=Ny​

Nx​>Ny​

Nx​≤Ny​
