Concept explainers
Interpretation: The magnetic properties and bond order of
are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The combination of two atomic orbitals leads to the formation of a bond and an antibonding molecular orbital. Orbitals that lie on internuclear axis combine to form sigma (
) molecular orbitals, and orbitals parallel to each other combine to form
molecular orbitals.
The molecular orbital formed by the combination of
Bond order is the difference between the number of antibonding electrons and the number of bonding electrons and dividing the obtained number by two.
