Question

Draw the MOT molecular orbital theory of N2+

Answer 1

Answer:

Electronic configuration of N-atom(Z=7) is  1 s to the power of 2 space end exponent 2 s squared 2 p subscript x superscript 1 2 p subscript y superscript 1 2 p subscript z superscript 1.

The total number of electrons present in the N2 molecule is 14.

N2+ ion is formed by the loss of one electron from the N2 molecule. This lost electron will be lost from σ(2pz) orbital. Hence, the electronic configuration of  N2+ ion will be

N2+ = KK[σ(2s)]2 [σ*(2s)]2 [π(2px)]2 [π(2py)]2 [σ(2pz)]1

Here, Nb =7, Na=2 so that
