Why `H_(2)` is more stable than `H_(2)^(+)` while `He_(2)^(+)` is more stable than `He_(2)` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why \( H_2 \) is more stable than \( H_2^+ \) while \( He_2^+ \) is more stable than \( He_2 \), we can analyze the bond orders of these molecules using molecular orbital theory. ### Step 1: Determine the Bond Order of \( H_2 \) 1. **Identify the total number of electrons in \( H_2 \)**: - Each hydrogen atom has 1 electron, so \( H_2 \) has a total of 2 electrons. 2. **Draw the Molecular Orbital Diagram**: ...
