NEET Chemistry Molecular Orbital Theory Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Bonding Molecular Orbital | (i) Higher energy than atomic orbitals |
| (b) Antibonding Molecular Orbital | (ii) Stabilizes the molecule |
| (c) Nodal Plane | (iii) Electron density is zero |
| (d) Paramagnetic O2 | (iv) Unpaired electrons present |
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
a-iv, b-ii, c-i, d-iii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A bonding molecular orbital stabilizes the molecule (ii), while an antibonding molecular orbital is higher in energy than atomic orbitals (i). A nodal plane has zero electron density (iii), and O2 is paramagnetic due to unpaired electrons (iv).
