If the energy of 2p atomic orbitals and 2s atomic orbitals in an oxygen atom are –15.85 eV and –32.38 eV, respectively.

Number of bonding electrons in O₂ molecules which have higher energy than –32.38 eV.

Number of antibonding electrons in O₂ molecules which have lower energy than –32.38 eV.

Find .

Number of species from given below which have higher ionization energy as compared to molecular oxygen.

Atomic oxygen,      

Atomic nitrogen,       

Molecular nitrogen,       

Atomic fluorine,       

Neon,       

Helium ,       

Superoxide ion

Find the value of Z ?

Answer:
6.00
Solution:

Question Explanation: Comparing the Ionization Energy (IE) of various species with .

Concept: Ionization Energy Trends.

Solution: The IE of (12.1 eV) is lower than atomic oxygen because the electron is removed from a higher energy antibonding orbital. Atomic nitrogen, fluorine, noble gases, and all have higher IE due to stable configurations or smaller sizes.

Species with IE (12.1 eV):

Atomic O (13.6 eV),

Atomic N (14.5 eV),

Molecular (15.6 eV),

Atomic F (17.4 eV),

Neon (21.6 eV),

Helium (24.6 eV).

has a much lower IE as it is an anion.

Total count .

Final Answer: 6.00
