Stability of the species \(Li_2, Li_2^-\) and \(Li_2^+\) increases in the order of :
- A \(Li_2 < Li_2^+ < Li_2^-\)
- B \(Li_2^- < Li_2^+ < Li_2\)
- C \(Li_2 < Li_2^- < Li_2^+\)
- D \(Li_2^- < Li_2 < Li_2^+\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(Li_2^- < Li_2^+ < Li_2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Correct option (b) \(\mathrm{Li}_{2}-<\mathrm{Li}_{2}^{+}<\mathrm{Li}_{2}\) Explanation: \(\mathrm{Li}_{2}(3+3=6)=\sigma 1 \mathrm{s}^{2}, \quad \hat{\sigma} 1 \mathrm{s}^{2}, \sigma 2 \mathrm{s}^{2}\) Bond order \(=\frac{N_{b}-N_{a}}{2}=\frac{4-2}{2}=1\)…
