During the change of O(2) to O(2)^(-), t...

During the change of `O_(2)` to `O_(2)^(-)`, the incoming electron goes to the orbital:

A

`pi 2p_(y)`

B

`sigma**2p_(z)`

C

`pi ** 2p_(x)`

D

`pi 2p_(x)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
By MOT
`O_(2) " " sigma1s^(2)" "sigma^(***) 1s^(2) " " sigma2s^(2)" "sigma^(***)2s^(2)" "sigma2pz^(2)" "pi 2px^(2)=pi 2py^(2) pi^(***) 2px^(1)=pi^(***)2py^(1)`
