Question

The ground state electronic configuration of valence shell electrons in nitrogen molecule `(N_2)` is written as
`KK, sigma2 s^2 , sigma^(***)2s^2, sigma2p_x^2 , pi2p_y^2~~pi2p_z^2`
Bond order in nitrogen molecule is

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D
The MO configuration of `N_2` is KK, `sigma2s^2, .^*** sigma2s^2, sigma2p_x^2 , pi2p_y^2~~pi2p_z^2`
Bond order of
`N_2=1/2[N_b-N_a]=1/2[8-2]=6/2=3`
