Select INCORRECT ground state molecular orbital electronic configuration of B2.

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, C, D
Solution:

B2 has 10 electrons; below N2 the π 2p orbitals lie below σ 2p.

Correct ground state: the two π 2p orbitals each hold one electron (parallel spins), σ 2p empty.

(A) pairs both in one π. (B) puts σ below π and filled. (C) fills σ and leaves one π half empty. (D) puts both in one π box.

All four are incorrect.

Answer: A, B, C, D.
