Question

energy level diagram of c2

Answer 1

The Energy Level Diagram is used by the chemists along with a notation of electron configuration in order to represent the energy level, orbital, and sub-shell that is occupied by the electrons in a particular atom.

 

In C2, the ground state electron configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For excited states, the most typical situation is that five of the electrons maintain the configuration 1s2 2s2 2p1 and a single electron is elevated. However, three of the levels have the configuration 1s2 2s1 2p3 and are denoted 2p3.

Here is a picture depicting the energy level of C2.
