The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect matching of bond order and magnetic behavior of different species, we will analyze each species step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze CN⁻ 1. **Determine the total number of electrons**: - Carbon (C) has 6 electrons, Nitrogen (N) has 7 electrons. The negative charge adds 1 electron. - Total = 6 + 7 + 1 = 14 electrons. 2. **Fill the molecular orbitals**: - Molecular orbital filling order: σ1s, σ*1s, σ2s, σ*2s, π2p_x, π2p_y, σ2p_z. - Fill the 14 electrons: - σ1s (2), σ*1s (2), σ2s (2), σ*2s (2), π2p_x (2), π2p_y (2), σ2p_z (2). - Bonding electrons = 10, Anti-bonding electrons = 4. 3. **Calculate bond order**: - Bond order = 1/2 * (Bonding electrons - Anti-bonding electrons) = 1/2 * (10 - 4) = 3. 4. **Determine magnetic behavior**: - All electrons are paired, so CN⁻ is diamagnetic. ### Step 2: Analyze BN 1. **Determine the total number of electrons**: - Boron (B) has 5 electrons, Nitrogen (N) has 7 electrons. - Total = 5 + 7 = 12 electrons. 2. **Fill the molecular orbitals**: - Fill the 12 electrons: - σ1s (2), σ*1s (2), σ2s (2), σ*2s (2), π2p_x (2), π2p_y (2). - Bonding electrons = 8, Anti-bonding electrons = 4. 3. **Calculate bond order**: - Bond order = 1/2 * (8 - 4) = 2. 4. **Determine magnetic behavior**: - All electrons are paired, so BN is diamagnetic. ### Step 3: Analyze C₂ 1. **Determine the total number of electrons**: - Each Carbon (C) has 6 electrons, so for 2 Carbons: - Total = 6 + 6 = 12 electrons. 2. **Fill the molecular orbitals**: - Fill the 12 electrons: - σ1s (2), σ*1s (2), σ2s (2), σ*2s (2), π2p_x (2), π2p_y (2). - Bonding electrons = 8, Anti-bonding electrons = 4. 3. **Calculate bond order**: - Bond order = 1/2 * (8 - 4) = 2. 4. **Determine magnetic behavior**: - All electrons are paired, so C₂ is diamagnetic. ### Step 4: Analyze B₂ 1. **Determine the total number of electrons**: - Each Boron (B) has 5 electrons, so for 2 Borons: - Total = 5 + 5 = 10 electrons. 2. **Fill the molecular orbitals**: - Fill the 10 electrons: - σ1s (2), σ*1s (2), σ2s (2), σ*2s (2), π2p_x (2), π2p_y (0). - Bonding electrons = 6, Anti-bonding electrons = 4. 3. **Calculate bond order**: - Bond order = 1/2 * (6 - 4) = 1. 4. **Determine magnetic behavior**: - There are unpaired electrons, so B₂ is paramagnetic. ### Conclusion Now we can summarize the findings: - **CN⁻**: Bond order = 3, Diamagnetic (Correct) - **BN**: Bond order = 2, Diamagnetic (Correct) - **C₂**: Bond order = 2, Diamagnetic (Correct) - **B₂**: Bond order = 1, Paramagnetic (Correct) ### Incorrect Matching The incorrect matching is for **BN** since it was initially stated to have 14 electrons (which is incorrect). ### Final Answer The incorrect matching is for **BN**.

To solve the question regarding the incorrect matching of bond order and magnetic behavior of different species, we will analyze each species step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze CN⁻ 1. **Determine the total number of electrons**: - Carbon (C) has 6 electrons, Nitrogen (N) has 7 electrons. The negative charge adds 1 electron. - Total = 6 + 7 + 1 = 14 electrons. 2. **Fill the molecular orbitals**: ...

It is not possible to measure the atomic radius prectsely since the electron cloub surrouding the atom does not have a sharp boundary. One practial approach to estimate the size of an atom of a non-metallic element is to measure the distance between two atoms when they are bound togther by a signle bond in a covalent molecule and then dividing by two. For metals we define the term "matellic radius" which is taken as half the internuclear distance separating the metal cores in the metallic crystal. Then van der waal's radius represents the over all size of the atoms which includes its valence shell in a non bonded situation. It is the half of the distance between two similar atoms in separate molecules in a solid. The atomis radius decreases across a period and increases down the group. Same trends are observed in case of ionic radius. Ionic radius of the species having same number of electrons depends on the number of protons in their nuclei. Sometimes, atomic and ionic radii give unexpected trends due to poor shielding of nuclear charge by d -and f- orbital electrons. Now answer the following three questions: Select the INCORRECT option regarding atomic//ionic sizes:
