Statement : MO configuration of CO is : ...

Statement : MO configuration of `CO` is :
`sigma 1s^2 , sigma^**1s^2 , sigma2s^2 , sigma2p_x^2, pi 2p_y^2, pi 2 p_z^2, sigma^**2s^2`
Explanation : the energy level `sigma^**2s^2` possesses higher energy because then only higher bond length in ` CO` that `CO^+` can be explained .

A

`S` is correct by ` E` is wrong .

B

`S` is wrong but `E` is wrong .

C

Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation os ` S` .

D

Both `S` and ` E` are conrrect and `E` is correct explanation os `S`.

Text Solution
