MCQ
Identify a molecule which does not exist.
  • A
    $O _{2}$
  • $He _{2}$
  • C
    $Li _{2}$
  • D
    $C _{2}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$He _{2}$
b
$He _{2}=$ Total electron $=4$

$=\sigma_{1 \sigma}^{2} \sigma_{1 \sigma}^{* 2} \Rightarrow B . O .=\frac{1}{2}[ Nb - Na ]=\frac{1}{2}[2-2]=0$

Bond order $=0,$ so $He _{2}$ does not exist.
