Answer to Problem 11.37P
The order of decreasing bond energy of
Explanation of Solution
The molecular orbital diagram of
The formula to calculate the bond order is as follows:
Substitute 7 for the number of electrons in bonding orbitals and 4 for the number of electrons in antibonding orbitals in equation(1).
The molecular orbital diagram of
Substitute 6 for the number of electrons in bonding orbitals and 4 for the number of electrons in antibonding orbitals in equation(1).
The molecular orbital diagram of
Substitute 5 for the number of electrons in bonding orbitals and 4 for the number of electrons in antibonding orbitals in equation(1).
Bond energy is directly proportional to the bond order. The highest bond order of
So the order of decreasing bond energy is
