Question

During change of C2 to  the electron adds to which of the following orbitals?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Thus, during the change of O2 to O2− the electron is added into π∗ orbital.

Answer 2

Answer:

During the change of C2 to C2- the electron adds on

π* orbital.

Explanation:

• Molecular orbital configuration of C2 (total 12 electrons)
• We can say that the electronic configuration of Carbon is given as :

(σ2s)2(σ∗2s)2(π2py,π2pz)4

• C2- = 6+6+1 = 13
• Thus when the change of O2 to O2- takes place, the electron is added into π* orbital.
