Question

Explain the structure of C2^2+ molecule (MOT)?

Answer 1

Bond order is the number of Chemical bonds between a pair of atoms and indicates the stability of a bond.

In a Covalent Bond ( as in case of C2 ) between two atoms, a single bond has a bond order of one, a double bond has a bond order of two, a triple bond has a bond order of three, and so on. There are various methods to determine the bond order between two covalently bonded atoms.

The First Method Is As Follows;

Draw the Lewis Structure.

Determine the type of bonds between the two atoms.

0: No bond

1: Single bond

2: double bond

3: triple bond

If The Bond Order is Zero Then The Molecule Can't Be Formed.

So in C2;
