Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The molecular ions with one or more unpaired electron from the given molecules are to be identified.
Concept introduction: When two atomic orbitals come close to each other they lose their identity and form new pair of orbitals knows as molecular orbitals. Among the two molecular orbitals formed, one has energy lower than the atomic orbitals is known as bonding molecular orbital and the other has energy higher than the atomic orbitals and is known as antibonding molecular orbital. The filling electrons in molecular orbitals follow Aufbau’s principle and Hund’s rule.
