Use molecular orbital theory to determine whether He2 2+ or He2 + is more stable. Use molecular orbital theory to determine whet

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The He₂ 2+ ion is more stable since it has a higher bond order (bond order = 1) than the He₂ + ion (bond order = 1/2).

Explanation:

Molecular orbital of He₂⁺

$1\sigma_{1s}^21\sigma(star)_{1s}^1$

There are two electrons in bonding and 1 electron in antibonding orbital

Bond order = $\frac{(2-1)}{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Molecular orbital of He₂⁺²

$1\sigma_{1s}^21\sigma(star)_{1s}^0$

There are two electrons in bonding and 0 electron in antibonding orbital

Bond order = $\frac{(2-0)}{2}$

= 1

So bond order of He₂⁺² is 1 which is more stable than He₂⁺ whose bond order is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Why metals are denser than non - metals ? ...?

Solnce55 [7]

Because their molecules are more tightly packed. Massdensity = ---------- Volume
So more densely packed molecules means more mass per unit volume. Hence metals are denser than non-metals.
