Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Diamagnetic \(li_2\) molecules are known to exist in the vapour phase.
Statement II: According to MO theory, double bond in \(C_2\) consists of both \( \pi \) bonds. The correct option is:
Statement I: Diamagnetic \(li_2\) molecules are known to exist in the vapour phase.
Statement II: According to MO theory, double bond in \(C_2\) consists of both \( \pi \) bonds. The correct option is:
Show Hint
- Both statements I and II are correct.
- Both statements I and II are not correct.
- Statement I is correct, but statement II is not correct.
- Statement II is correct, but statement I is not correct.
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Verifying the molecular properties. Li2 is known to be diamagnetic and exists in the vapour phase, verifying statement I.
Statement II is correct as MO theory describes the double bond in C2 involving two \( \pi \) bonds.
