Question

Consider valence shell electronic distribution in molecular orbitals of some second row homonuclear diatomic molecules in List (II) to match the specification given in List (I).

List I	List II
(P) Lowest bond order
(Q) LUMO does not have any nodal plane containing internuclear axis
(R) Highest paramagnetism
(S) Not a ground state configuration

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Correct matching: P → 3,4; Q → 2,4; R → 2,3; S → 1.

(3) and (4) have the lowest bond order;

(2) and (4) have LUMO with no nodal plane containing the internuclear axis;

(2) and (3) show the highest paramagnetism;

(1) is not a ground state configuration.

Option (D) is correct since every pairing it lists is valid.
