Question

Look at the plot for the formation of a molecular orbital for a hydrogen molecule. Which statement about this diagram is not correct?

a.

We are looking at the electron distribution in two 1s orbitals of hydrogen. b. There are a total of two electrons involved between two hydrogen atoms. c. The greatest electron density will be around the nuclei of either atom. d. When the two atoms interact, the result is an electron density that is greatest between the two atoms. This is due to a favorable covalent type of bonding.

This is due to a favorable covalent type of bonding for di-hydrogen Which statement about this diagram is not correct?

Explanation / Answer

In formation of hydrogen molecule (H2) two 1S orbital will involved,they have same energy, hydrogen molecule will form through covalent bond that is sharing of two electrons, electron density present between two hydrogen atoms, for 1S orbital there is no node also, for 2S orbital one node present,

Greatest electron density not present.

Option C not correct
