The correct Answer is:
To solve the question according to Molecular Orbital Theory, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 - C2 2- is expected to be diamagnetic 1. **Determine the number of electrons**: C2 2- has 14 electrons (12 from C2 and 2 additional electrons). 2. **Write the molecular orbital configuration**: - σ1s² σ*1s² σ2s² σ*2s² π2px² π2py² σ2pz² 3. **Identify unpaired electrons**: In the configuration, all electrons are paired. 4. **Conclusion**: Since there are no unpaired electrons, C2 2- is diamagnetic. ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 - O2 2+ is expected to have a longer bond length than O2 1. **Determine the molecular orbital configuration of O2 2+**: - O2 2+ has 10 electrons: σ1s² σ*1s² σ2s² σ*2s² σ2pz² π2px² π2py² 2. **Calculate bond order**: - Bond order = 1/2 (number of bonding electrons - number of antibonding electrons) - Bonding electrons = 10, Antibonding electrons = 4 - Bond order = 1/2 (10 - 4) = 3 3. **Determine the molecular orbital configuration of O2**: - O2 has 12 electrons: σ1s² σ*1s² σ2s² σ*2s² σ2pz² π2px² π2py² π*2px¹ π*2py¹ 4. **Calculate bond order for O2**: - Bonding electrons = 10, Antibonding electrons = 6 - Bond order = 1/2 (10 - 6) = 2 5. **Conclusion**: Since O2 has a lower bond order than O2 2+, it has a longer bond length. Therefore, this option is incorrect. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 - N2+ and N2- have the same bond order 1. **Determine the molecular orbital configuration of N2+**: - N2+ has 9 electrons: σ1s² σ*1s² σ2s² σ*2s² π2px² π2py² σ2pz¹ 2. **Calculate bond order for N2+**: - Bonding electrons = 9, Antibonding electrons = 4 - Bond order = 1/2 (9 - 4) = 2.5 3. **Determine the molecular orbital configuration of N2-**: - N2- has 10 electrons: σ1s² σ*1s² σ2s² σ*2s² π2px² π2py² σ2pz² π*2px¹ 4. **Calculate bond order for N2-**: - Bonding electrons = 10, Antibonding electrons = 5 - Bond order = 1/2 (10 - 5) = 2.5 5. **Conclusion**: Both N2+ and N2- have the same bond order of 2.5. Therefore, this option is correct. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 4 - Helium 2+ has the same energy as 2 isolated helium 1. **Consider the molecular orbital configuration of He2**: - He2 would have 2 electrons in bonding and 2 in antibonding, leading to no net bonding. 2. **Conclusion**: Helium 2+ does not have the same energy as two isolated helium atoms due to the presence of bonding and antibonding interactions. Therefore, this option is incorrect. ### Final Conclusion: - **Correct Options**: Option 1 (C2 2- is diamagnetic) and Option 3 (N2+ and N2- have the same bond order) are correct. - **Incorrect Options**: Option 2 (O2 2+ has a longer bond length than O2) and Option 4 (Helium 2+ has the same energy as 2 isolated helium) are incorrect.

To solve the question according to Molecular Orbital Theory, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 - C2 2- is expected to be diamagnetic 1. **Determine the number of electrons**: C2 2- has 14 electrons (12 from C2 and 2 additional electrons). 2. **Write the molecular orbital configuration**: - σ1s² σ*1s² σ2s² σ*2s² π2px² π2py² σ2pz² 3. **Identify unpaired electrons**: In the configuration, all electrons are paired. 4. **Conclusion**: Since there are no unpaired electrons, C2 2- is diamagnetic. ...
