Question

Complete the MO energy diagram for the N2+ ion by dragging the electrons ↑,  ↑↓, and↓ in the figure given below. 

Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. Labels may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Answer 1

Nitrogen(N) : Atomic no. 7. Electronic configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p³. As single nitrogen contain 7 elcetrons therfore N₂ molecule will have total 14 electrons.

The molecule is N₂⁺ it will contain 13 electrons. the molecular arrangement for N2+ will be $\sigma 1s^{2}, \sigma ^{\ast } 1s^{2}, \sigma 2s^{2}, \sigma ^{\ast } 2s^{2}, \Pi 2p_{y}^{2} = \Pi 2p_{z}^{2}, \sigma 2p_{x}^{1}$

s 2p 22p s 2

$\Pi^{\ast } 2p_{y} = \Pi ^{\ast }2p_{z} , \sigma ^{\ast } 2p_{x}$ orbitals will remain empty respectively.
