What is the bond order of \(\mathrm{Be}_{2}\) molecule?

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(\mathrm{Be}_{2}\) molecule,
\(\sigma_{1s^{2}} \sigma_{1s^{2}}^{*} \sigma_{2 s^{2}} \sigma_{2 s^{2}}^{*}\)
\(N_{b}=4 \quad N_{a}=4\)
Bond order \(=\frac{N_{b}-N_{a}}{2}=0\)
