  • question_answer
                    The number of anti-bonding electrons in \[O_{2}^{2-}\] molecular ion on the basis of molecular orbital theory is (Atomic no. of O is 8):                                                                                                                               

    A)                 5 

    B)                 2                                             

    C)                 4                             

    D)                 6

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Total no. of electrons in \[O_{2}^{2-}\] = 16 + 2 = 18                 According to MOT, the configuration of \[O_{2}^{2-}\] is                 \[\sigma \,1{{s}^{2}},\,\sigma \,*\,1{{s}^{2}},\,\sigma 2{{s}^{2}},\,\sigma *\,2{{s}^{2}},\sigma \,2p_{x}^{2},\,\pi 2p_{y}^{2}\]                                                                 \[\pi \,2p_{z}^{2},\,\pi *\,\,2p_{y}^{1}\,\pi *\,\,2p_{z}^{1}\]                 Orbitals with represent and bonding M.O. so, the number of anti bonding electrons = 6
