SECTION A : OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS
Passage Based Questions :
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions : (1x5 Marks)
The distribution of electrons in various molecular orbitals is called the electronic
configuration of the molecule. If the number of electrons occupying bonding
orbitals are represented by Nh and the number of electrons occupying the
antibonding orbitals by Na then.
(i) The molecule is stable if Nb > Na and
(ii) The molecule is unstable if Nb < Na
Bond Order is one half of the difference between the number of electrons present
in the bonding and the antibonding orbitals i.e.
Bond order (BO) = ½ (Nb – Na )
If Nb > Na molecule is stable.
If Nb < Na or Nb = Na molecule is unstable.
If bond order is 1,2 or 3, it shows the presence of single, double or triple bonds
respectively, Bond length is measured with the help of bond order. The bond
length decreases as the bond order increases. All the molecular orbitals in a
molecule are doubly occupied, i.e. contains two electrons, than substance is
diamagnetic (repelled by magnetic field).
However, if one or more molecule orbitals are singly occupied, the molecule is
paramagnetic (attracted by magnetic field) e.g. O2 molecule.
