Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as
Assertion: \[{{B}_{2}}\] molecule is diamagnetic. Reason: The highest occupied molecular orbital is of a type.A) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
B) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
C) If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
D) If both Assertion and Reason are false.
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
The total number of electrons in \[{{B}_{2}}=10\] \[{{B}_{2}}=\sigma 1{{s}^{2}}{{\sigma }^{*}}1{{s}^{2}}{{\sigma }^{*}}2{{s}^{2}}\pi 2p_{y}^{1}\pi 2p_{z}^{1}\] It has two unpaired electrons \[\therefore \]It is paramagnetic and the highest occupied molecular orbital is of \[\pi \] type. Thus, both assertion and reason are false.
