Solution

The correct option is C

H22-


Answer: (C)

Explanation for correct option:

(C)ElectronicconfigurationofH22-=(σs2)(σ*s2)BondorderofH22-=Nb-Na2=2-22=0Ifabondorderofzeroisobtained,thatmeansthatthemoleculeistoounstableandsoitwillnotexist.

Explanation for incorrect option:

(A)ElectronicconfigurationofHe2+=(σs2σ*s1)Bondorder=Nb-Na2=2-12=0.5BondorderofHe2+is0.5.Becauseoption(A)isincorrect(B)ElectronicconfigurationofH2-=(σs2σ*s1)Bondorder=Nb-Na2=2-12=0.5BondorderofH2-is0.5.Becauseoption(B)isincorrect(D)ElectronicconfigurationofHe22+=(σs2)Bondorder=Nb-Na2=2-02=1BondorderofHe22+is1.Becauseoption(D)isincorrect

Hence option (C) is the correct option.
