The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$B _{2}: K K(\sigma 2 s)^{2}\left(\sigma^{*} 2 s\right)^{2}\left(\pi 2 p_{x}\right)^{1}\left(\pi 2 p_{y}\right)^{1}$ Bond order $=\frac{1}{2}(4-2)=1$

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
