Q.

Among the following, the molecule expected to be stabilized by anion formation is

C2, O2, NO, F2

  1. A

    F2

  2. B

    NO

  3. C

    C2

  4. D

    O2

Solution

C2 has s-p mixing and the HOMO is 2p = 2 and LUMO is 2p. So, the extra electron will occupy bonding molecular orbital and this will lead to an increase in bond order.
