Which amongst the following is incorrect statement?
- molecule has four electrons in its two degenerate molecular orbitals.
- ion has one electron.
- ion is diamagnetic.
- The bond orders of and are and , respectively.
Solution
1. Electronic configuration of molecule is
Hence it has electrons in molecular orbitals.
2. has one electron as one electron is removed from molecule.
3. Electronic configuration of ion is
It has one unpaired electron so it is para-magnetic.
4. Bond orders of and are and respectively.
