Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) The have same number of bonding molecular orbtials and same number of antibonding molecular orbitals

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The electronic configuration, magnetic property and bond order of given molecules are as follows: (i) \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{C}_2=12 \\ & =\sigma s^2 < \sigma^* 1 s^2 < \sigma 2 s^2 < \sigma * 2 s^2 < \pi 2 p_x{ }^2=\pi 2 p_y{ }^2 \end{aligned}\) It is diamagnetic in…
