Write the molecular orbital diagram of N2
1.calculate it's bond order
2. State it's magnetic effect
3.propose it's Lewis structure
The molecular orbital diagram of N2 is as follows:
Sigma 2s*
Sigma 2s
Pi 2p*
Sigma 2p
Pi 2p
Sigma 2p*
The bond order of N2 can be calculated by subtracting the number of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals from the number of electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals, and then dividing by 2. In this case, N2 has a total of 10 electrons in bonding orbitals and 4 electrons in antibonding orbitals, resulting in a bond order of (10-4)/2 = 3.
The magnetic effect of N2 is diamagnetic, meaning it is not attracted to a magnetic field because all of its electrons are paired.
The Lewis structure of N2 would show a triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms, with each nitrogen atom having 5 valence electrons and sharing a total of 6 electrons between them. The Lewis structure can be represented as N≡N.
