Question

Map General Chemistry University Science Books 4th Edition presented by Sapling Learning Donald McQuarrie. Peter A. Rock Ethan Gallogly The energy-level diagram shown here can be continued to higher energies. next few orbitals, in order of increasing 2p O3s, oss*, TT3p, O3p, TT3p and O3p n other words, the 02s to 02p pattern is repeated 2p 2p 2p Determine the bond order ofa Mg2 molecule. 2p I Number Predict the stability of a Mg2 molecule. stable 2s 2s O unstable 1s 1s 1s 1s Previous Check Answer E Next Exit Hint

Explanation / Answer

bond order = 1 /2 (bonding electrons - anti-bonding electrons)

bond order = 1/2 ( 12 -12) =0

bond order = 0

as bond order = 0   Mg2 is un stable
