Energy Level Diagram Of O2 Molecule. In completing the molecular orbital energy level diagram for oxygen the last two electrons must either be paired in the same 2p π orbital or separated into different 2p π orbitals. A particularly interesting case is the oxygen molecule o 2.
Molecular orbital diagram for oxygen gas o2 fill from the bottom up with 12 electrons total bonding order is 2 and it is paramagnetic sigma2s 2 sigma2s. We again fill the orbitals according to hund s rules and the pauli principle beginning with the orbital that is lowest in energy. To obtain the molecular orbital energy level diagram for o 2 we need to place 12 valence electrons 6 from each o atom in the energy level diagram shown in figure 9 10.
Therefore oxygen molecule is a paramagnetic in nature.
Molecular orbital diagram for oxygen gas o2 fill from the bottom up with 12 electrons total bonding order is 2 and it is paramagnetic sigma2s 2 sigma2s. Diagram for o2 is wrong because 2p atomic orbital of 2nd o atom will have only 3 e. To obtain the molecular orbital energy level diagram for o 2 we need to place 12 valence electrons 6 from each o atom in the energy level diagram shown in figure 9 10. A particularly interesting case is the oxygen molecule o 2.
