Question 4

Which of the following is the bond order of Li₂ molecule? A) 2 B) 1.5 C) 1 D) 1.7 E) 2.5

Accepted Answer

The bond order for a molecule can be calculated using the formula: Bond Order = (Number of bonding electrons - Number of antibonding electrons) / 2. For the molecule Li2S2, which seems to be a misinterpretation of the given molecule since "Li₂" does not correspond to a recognizable chemical species, we can't directly apply this formula without knowing its molecular orbital configuration. However, if we consider a simple diatomic molecule approach and assume the question intends to ask about a molecule formed from elements in the given sequence without considering the actual feasibility of such a molecule, the bond order typically would be 1 for a simple diatomic molecule formed by elements like Li and S, assuming a single bond between them in a hypothetical molecule. This is a simplification and the actual molecule described does not correspond to a real chemical species, making the calculation of bond order as described not directly applicable.

Question 5

What is the hybridization of carbon atoms present in acetylene? A) sp B) sp² C) sp³ D) sp⁴ E) sp⁵

Accepted Answer

The carbon atoms in acetylene are sp hybridized. This can be determined by looking at the molecular structure, which consists of two carbon atoms triple bonded to each other with one hydrogen atom bonded to each carbon. The triple bond requires the carbon atoms to have a linear geometry, which is achieved through sp hybridization.
