Number of antibonding electrons in O_(2)^(-) molecular ion is :

H_(2)^(+) ion contains one electron in bonding and one in antibonding molecular orbitals.

The number of antibonding electron pairs in O_(2)^(-)

The molecular orbital with the lowest eenrgy is filled first. Thus sigma (1s) is filled first where as 'sigma^(*)(2p) isfilled in thelast, also the maximum number of electron in bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals are according to Pauli and Hund's rule. As an electron in an antibonding molecular orbital cancels out the stability introduced by the electron in a bonding molecular orbital, it means that in order for bonding of atoms to occur there should be an excess of bonding electron sover antibonding electrons. In case where the number of bonding and antibonding electrons are equal, no bond will be formed between the atoms. With the help of above discussion, we can define easily bond order, relative bond length, relative stability and magnetic properties for a molecule. According to MOT which statement is correct about Boron molecule ?

Statement-1 : Ionization energy of s-electrons are more than the p-electrons for the same shell. Statement-2 : s electrons are closer to the nucleus than p-electrons, hence, more tightly attached.

Statement-1: In Photoelectric effect , electrons absorbing the photon can not be a free electron. Statement -2: A free electron can't absorb a photon completely

Statement-1 : In C_(2)H_(6) and B_(2)H_(6) both 3c-2e bond is present Statement-2: In 3c-2e bond, 2-electrons are shared between three atoms.

Out of bonding and antibonding M.O, which is filled first and why?

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 ?
