The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct from the viewpoint of molecular orbital theory, we will analyze each statement provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Molecular Orbital Theory**: - Molecular Orbital (MO) theory explains the formation of molecular orbitals from atomic orbitals. It helps in predicting the stability, bond order, and magnetic properties of molecules. 2. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Statement A**: "BE2 is not stable." - According to MO theory, the bond order of BE2 is calculated as follows: - Bond Order = (Number of bonding electrons - Number of antibonding electrons) / 2 - BE2 has 2 electrons in bonding orbitals and 2 in antibonding orbitals, resulting in a bond order of 0. Thus, this statement is correct. - **Statement B**: "He2 is also not stable." - For He2, the bond order is also 0 (2 bonding electrons and 2 antibonding electrons). Therefore, this statement is correct as well. - **Statement C**: "N2 is maximum amongst the homo-nuclear diatomic molecules belonging to the second period." - The bond order of N2 is 3 (6 bonding electrons and 3 antibonding electrons). This is indeed the highest bond order among second-period diatomic molecules, making this statement correct. - **Statement D**: "The order of energy of molecular orbitals in N2 is incorrect." - The correct order of molecular orbitals for N2 is: - σ(1s) < σ*(1s) < σ(2s) < σ*(2s) < σ(2p) < π(2p) < π*(2p) < σ*(2p) - If the order stated in the question differs from this, then this statement is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all statements, we find that Statement D is the one that is not correct according to molecular orbital theory. ### Final Answer: - The statement that is not correct from the viewpoint of molecular orbital theory is **Statement D**.

To determine which statement is not correct from the viewpoint of molecular orbital theory, we will analyze each statement provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Molecular Orbital Theory**: - Molecular Orbital (MO) theory explains the formation of molecular orbitals from atomic orbitals.

    Which of the following statements is not correct regarding bonding molecular orbital ?

    According to molecular orbital theory,

    According to MOT, two atomic orbitals overlap resulting in the formation of molecular orbital formed. Number of atomic orbitals overlapping together is equal to the molecule orbital formed. The two atomic orbital thus formed by LCAO (linear combination of atomic orbital) in the phase or in the different phase are known as bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals respectively. The energy of bonding molecular orbital is lower than that of the pure atomic orbitals by an amount Delta . This known as the stabilization energy. The enerby of antibonding molecular orbital in increased by Delta' (destabilisation energy). Q. Which of the following statements is not correct regarding bonding molecular orbitals?
