The number of antibonding electron pairs in O molecular ion on the basis of molecular orbital theory is (Atomic number of O is 18)
5
4
3
2
An octahedral complex is formed when hybrid orbitals of the following type are involved
sp3
dsp2
d2sp3
sp2d2
The correct statement with regard to is
both are equally stable
both do not exist
H is more stable than H
H is more stable than H
D.
H is more stable than H
Among the given statements, statement d is the correct.
The bond order of H and H are same, i.e. but H is more stable than H. It is due to the presence of one electron in the antibonding molecular orbital in H.
