List - I (Molecular orbital) | List - II (Number of nodal planes) | Column-III (Characteristics of molecular orbital) |
|---|---|---|
(1) | (P) 3 | (I) BMO, gerade |
(2) | (Q) 2 | (II) ABMO, ungerade |
(3) | (R) 1 | (III) BMO, ungerade |
(4) | (S) 0 | (IV) ABMO, gerade |
.
Which of the following matching is incorrect?
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Option (B) is the incorrect matching because it pairs the orbital with characteristic I (gerade). The orbital is a bonding molecular orbital (BMO) formed by the lateral overlap of p-orbitals, which has 1 nodal plane (R). It changes sign upon inversion through the center of symmetry, making it ungerade (III) rather than gerade (I). All other options are correctly matched based on their specific number of nodal planes and symmetry characteristics.
