In case of heteronuclear diatomics of the type AB, where A is more electronegative than B, bonding molecular orbital resembles the character of A more than that of B. The statement

A

is false

B

is true

C

cannot be evaluated since data is not sufficient

D

is true only for certain systems

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

As A is more electronegative, there is less enegy difference I between atomic orbital of A and bonding M.O. hence, bonding M.O. resembles A more closely.
