Question

When comparing Be2 and H2:

I. Be2 is more stable because it contains both bonding and antibonding valence electrons.
II. H2 has a higher bond order than Be2.
III. H2 is more stable because it only contains 1s electrons.
IV. H2 is more stable because it is diamagnetic, whereas Be2 is paramagnetic

a. II,III,IV
b.II,III
c.III only
d.I,II
e.III,IV.

Answer 1

The answer is "Option b".

Step-by-step explanation:

H2 does have bond energy of 1, while Be2 has a covalent bond of zero. Be2 has eight electrons, each of which dwells in a distinct orbital. As just a result, four of them are linked molecular orbitals and two are antibonding molecular orbitals, respectively. As just a result, this molecule is unstable. This chemical orbital, with a bond order of 1, has just two electrons. As a result, it is a very solid substance. H2's bond length is higher than Be2's. Since it only has one electron, H2 is more stable than that of other compounds.
