Question

Assuming that Hund′s rule is violated, the bond order and magnetic nature of the diatomic molecule B2 is

Options

A.1 and diamagnetic
B.0 and diamagnetic
C.1 and paramagnetic
D.0 and paramagnetic

Solution

B2 (10) = σls2 σ*ls2 σ2s2 σ*2s2 π2px2
Bond order = = 1                                      (nature diamagnetic as no unpaired electron)
