Assuming that Hund's rule is violated, the bond order and magnetic nature of the diatomic molecule \(\mathrm{B}_2\) is

  1. A 1 and diamagnetic
  2. B 0 and diamagnetic
  3. C 1 and paramagnetic
  4. D 0 and paramagnetic
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1 and diamagnetic

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{B}_2\) : Total electrons \(=10\)
Configuration : \(\sigma 1 s^2 \sigma^* 1 s^2 \sigma 2 s^2 \sigma^* 2 s^2 \pi 2 p_x^1=\pi 2 p_y^1\)
If Hunds rule is violated, then
\(\sigma 1 s^2 \sigma^* 1 s^2 \sigma 2 s^2 \sigma^* 2 s^2 \quad \pi 2 p_x^2=\pi 2 p_y^0\)
So, diamagnetic
\(\text {Bond order }=\frac{6-4}{2}=1\)
