MCQ
Assuming that Hund's rule is violated, the bond order and magnetic nature of the diatomic molecule $B_2$ is
  • $1$ and diamagnetic
  • B
    $0$ and diamagnetic
  • C
    $1$ and paramagnetic
  • D
    $0$ and paramagnetic

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1$ and diamagnetic
a
$\mathrm{B}_2(10)=\sigma_{1 \mathrm{~s}^2} \sigma_{1 \mathrm{~s}^2}^* \sigma_{2 \mathrm{~s}^2} \sigma_{2 \mathrm{~s}^2}^* \pi_{2 \mathrm{p}_2^2}$

Bond order $=\frac{6-4}{2}=1$

(nature diamagnetic as no unpaired electron)
