Question

Which of the following molecule stabilizes by removal of electron? (A) C 2 (B) O 2 (C) N 2 (D) H 2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

On removing e-from O 2 its bond order increases from 2 to 2.5 ∴ stability increases. O 2=σ 1 s 2 ldots * 2 p x 1= * 2 p y 1 O 2 +=σ 1 s 2 ldots π 2 p x 1= * 2 p y 0

Q. Which of the following molecule stabilizes by removal of electron?

$C_{2}$

$O_{2}$

$N_{2}$

$H_{2}$

On removing $e^{-}$ from $O_{2}$ its bond order increases from $2$ to $2.5$
$∴$ stability increases.
$O_{2} = σ 1 s^{2} \dots^{} 2 p_{x}^{1} =^{} 2 p_{y}^{1}$
$O_{2}^{+} = σ 1 s^{2} \dots π 2 p_{x}^{1} =^{*} 2 p_{y}^{0}$
