Assertion H(2) molecule is more stable t...

Assertion `H_(2)` molecule is more stable than `HeH` molecule
Reasoning The antibonding electron in the molecule destabilises it .

A

If both assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`H_(2)` molecule is more stable than `HEH` because bond order `H_(2)=1`
ad that of `HeH=(1)/(2)`
(Higher the bond order, more is the stability).

Molecular orbital (MOT) the atoms in a molecule are supposed to loose their individual control over the electrons . The nuclei of the bonded atoms are considered to be present at equilibrium in inter-nuclear positions . The orbitals where the probability of finding electrons is maximum are called molecular orbitals extending over 2 or more nuclei when a pair of atomic orbitals combine and give rise to a pair of molecular MO's in internuclear region but decreased for antibonding MO's . Shielding of the nuclei by-increased electron density in bonding MO's reduces inter nuclear repulsion & thus stabilizes the molecule whereas lower electron density in antibonding MO's increases the repulsion and destabilises the system . Which of the following is the correct order of bond strength of given species ?
