Question

Which of the following order of energies of molecular orbitals of \[\ce{N2}\] is correct?

Options

  • (π2py) < (σ2pz) < (π*2px) ≈ (π*2py)

  • (π2py) > (σ2pz) > (π*2px) ≈ (π*2py)

  • (π2py) < (σ2pz) > (π*2px) ≈ (π*2py)

  • (π2py) > (σ2pz) < (π*2px) ≈ (π*2py)

MCQ

Solution

(π2py) < (σ2pz) < (π*2px) ≈ (π*2py)

Explanation:

In the molecules of boron \[\ce{(B2)}\], carbon \[\ce{C2)}\] and nitrogen \[\ce{(N2)}\] the energy of σ2pz molecular orbital is greater than the energy of π2pand π2py molecular orbital.
