Q18Multiple choice
Which of the following order of energies of molecular orbitals of N2 is correct?
- (i)(π2py ) < (σ2pz) < (π*2px) ≈ (π*2py )
- (ii)(π2py ) > (σ2pz) > (π*2px) ≈ (π*2py )
- (iii)(π2py ) < (σ2pz) > (π*2px) ≈ (π*2py )
- (iv)(π2py ) > (σ2pz) < (π*2px) ≈ (π*2py )
Show answer
(i) (π2py ) < (σ2pz) < (π*2px) ≈ (π*2py )
