NEET Chemistry Molecular Orbital Theory Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) σ2p z | (i) Antibonding molecular orbital |
| (b) π2p x | (ii) Bonding molecular orbital |
| (c) σ*2s | (iii) Larger electron density above and below |
| (d) π*2p y | (iv) Node between the nuclei |
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The σ2p z orbital is a bonding molecular orbital, while the π2p x has larger electron density above and below the bond axis. The σ2s is an antibonding molecular orbital, and the π2p y contains a node between the nuclei, as discussed in the molecular orbital theory.
