Total: 40
Use molecular orbital theory to explain why B e 2
Solution:
Beryllium atom has electronic configuration 1 s 2 2 s 2 B e 2
M.O. configuration ofB e 2 σ 1 s 2 σ * 1 s 2 σ 2 s 2 σ * 2 s 2
B.O. = 1/2(4 – 4) = 0. Since the bond order is zero it shows that molecular beryllium will not exist.
M.O. configuration of
B.O. = 1/2(4 – 4) = 0. Since the bond order is zero it shows that molecular beryllium will not exist.
