For a molecule, Nb = Na, will the molecu...

For a molecule, `N_b = N_a`, will the molecule be stable?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(1) Stability of a molecule is determined by bond order. We know, Bond order =0.5 `(N_b-N_a)`
If `N_b= N_a`, formation of molecule will not take place as the bond order will be zero.
(2) When twò p-orbitals overlap sideways, pi-bonds `(pi" bonds")` are formed.

The distribution of electrons among molecular orbitals is called the electronic configuration of the molecule which provides us the following very important informations about the molecule.
