MCQ
Among the following, the molecule expected to be stabilized by anion formation is
  • A
    $F_2$
  • $C_2$
  • C
    $O_2$
  • D
    $NO$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$C_2$
b
$C_2$ configuration

$\sigma 1{s^2}{\sigma ^*}1{s^2}\sigma 2{s^2}{\sigma ^*}2{s^2}_{\pi 2{p_z}^2}^{\pi 2{p_y}^2}\sigma 2Px$

$C_2^-$ configuration

$\sigma 1{s^2}{\sigma ^*}1{s^2}\sigma 2{s^2}{\sigma ^*}2{s^2}_{\pi 2{p_z}^2}^{\pi 2{p_y}^2}\sigma 2P_x^1$
