According to "molecular orbital theory", which among the following diatomic molecules only has \(\pi\)-bonds?

  1. A \(\mathrm{N}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{H}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{C}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Be}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{C}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molecular orbital configuration of \(\mathrm{C}_2\) is \(\sigma l s^2 \sigma * 1 s^2 \sigma 2 s^2 \sigma * 2 s^2 \pi 2 p_x^2=\pi 2 p_y^2\) So, \(\mathrm{C}_2\) molecule contains only \(\pi\)-bonds.
