Citrus2011 [14]2 years ago
4 0

There are one antibonding molecular orbitals present in molecular orbital model of c.

The cyclobutadiene has a pi system comprised of four  individual atomic p - orbital and thus should have a four pi   molecular orbitals. The compound is the prototypical antiaromatic hydrocarbon with 4 \pi - electrons .  Its rectangular structure is the result of jahn teller reaction which disorder the molecule and lowers its symmetry , converting the triplet to a singlet ground state. It is a small annulene . The  delocalisation energy of the  \pi   electrons of the cyclobutene is predicted to be zero .

Which metal is more active than H2?<br> (1) Ag (3) Cu<br> (2) Au (4) Pb
astraxan [27]

Answer is (4) - Pb.


According to the reactivity series of elements

- the elements which are above the hydrogen are more reactive than hydrogen.

- the elements which are below the hydrogen are less reactive than hydrogen.


Among the given choices, only Pb is placed above the hydrogen in the reactivity series and rest are below the hydrogen.


Hence, Pb is more active than hydrogen.
