Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{x}, \mathrm{x}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { B.O. }=\frac{\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{b}}-\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{a}}}{2} \\ & \mathrm{C}_2: \sigma 1 \mathrm{~s}^2 \sigma^* 1 \mathrm{~s}^2 \sigma 2 \mathrm{~s}^2 \sigma^* 2 \mathrm{~s}^2 \pi 2 \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{x}}{ }^2 \pi 2 \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{y}}{ }^2 \\…
